School of the Holy Child is committed to educating young women to "meet the wants of the age," and firmly believes that each student's education should include physical activity and athletic competition as well as spiritual growth, academic excellence, artistic achievement and community service. Knowing one's classmates, coaches and teachers on the field of play leads to a richer and more meaningful educational experience.

The School of the Holy Child Athletic Program is dedicated to providing a competitive, yet inclusive, sports experience for every student. We believe that an effective Athletic Program is vitally important to the physical and mental health of the participants and to the overall morale and outlook of the student body.

As members of the New York State Association of Independent Schools Athletics Association, School of the Holy Child embraces the NYSAISAA's standards for a successful athletic program:

COMPETENCE: A student athlete should be competent in terms of skill development, game knowledge, strategy, fitness, conditioning and healthy behavior.

CHARACTER: A student athlete should demonstrate responsibility, accountability, dedication, trustworthiness, fair play and self-control.

CIVILITY: A student athlete should show civility toward others by exhibiting respect, fairness and caring.

CITIZENSHIP: A student athlete should demonstrate citizenship through actions demonstrating teamwork, loyalty, commitment and role modeling.

Successfully achieving these goals will allow students to share life experiences that will transcend their years at Holy Child. These include sharing goals larger than oneself, cultivating habits of leadership, exhibiting modesty in victory, enduring the lessons of defeat, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
