Kimberton Waldorf School has a widely recognized and well developed Sports Program. League sports begin in sixth grade and continue through twelfth grade. In the middle school, the emphasis is on teaching the basic skills of each sport and giving each student a chance to participate. Skill development continues into the high school years as students gain a deeper understanding of the strategy of play on both defense and offense. Underlying our entire program is a strong emphasis on teamwork, good sportsmanship, respect for officials and respect for each other. The program is voluntary at Kimberton. Although students have to do one after school activity per year in the high school, sports are only one of a number of activities students may choose from.
In the Middle School, our Bantam Sports Program offers soccer for boys and field hockey for girls in the fall; in the winter we have a girls and a boys basketball team; and in the spring we offer lacrosse for boys and girls. Teams practice three times a week, and compete in a league of independent schools.
The High School Varsity Sports Program offers co-ed soccer, field hockey for girls, and girl’s tennis in the fall. In the winter we offer co-ed volleyball as an intramural activity two times per week. There is a volleyball tournament for student in the upper grades and occasional matches during the season for those students who want some competition with other schools in the area. We also offer both boy’s and girl’s basketball in the winter. Students on our varsity basketball teams participate in a yearly Waldorf School Basketball Tournament hosted at Kimberton and attended by many other Waldorf Schools from as far away as Toronto. In the spring we offer lacrosse for boys and girls, and boy’s tennis. Teams practice four times a week and compete in a league of independent schools.
Recently, both the varsity girls basketball and varsity lacrosse teams were undefeated and won the Tri-County Independent School Championships.
