Student Life
Arts
The arts are integral to our core curriculum. From Kindergarten Grade 12, our students are provided with abundant opportunities to engage in the creative process, harness their imagination, and develop a deep appreciation for the fine arts. Through a rich array of artistic experiences, we inspire our students to explore their creativity and express themselves in meaningful ways.
Athletics
Participating in athletics offers students invaluable opportunities to develop critical life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and time management, enriching their overall educational experience. Beyond academics, participating in athletics fosters personal growth, cultivates passions, and builds lasting friendships, shaping well-rounded individuals poised for success in both their academic and personal endeavors.
Student Leadership
At Ensworth, leadership is a vital component of the student experience and is pivotal for creating a dynamic and forward-thinking educational environment. We empower our students with the knowledge, confidence, and character to become leaders in their school, community, and beyond. When our students develop and hone their leadership skills, they become unstoppable catalysts for innovation and change.
Service Learning
Service Learning is at the heart of the student experience at Ensworth. At each stage in their educational journey, students work with local nonprofits to foster a spirit of service, encouraging students to become lifelong contributors to society. Much of the success of the Service Learning program at Ensworth is attributed to the strength of our relationships with over 100 community partners—many of whom we have served for decades.

Retreats & Trips
Class retreats offer students a unique opportunity to bond with classmates, deepen friendships, and foster a sense of unity and belonging within their grade level. Students expand their horizons and challenge their perspectives as they venture into new environments and dive into experiential learning. Through immersive experiences and activities, these retreats not only strengthen interpersonal connections but also promote personal growth, resilience, and a deeper understanding of oneself and others.
