Participation Statement

When planning Ensworth School, we concluded that fitness should be required and athletic participation would be optional. Most schools our size could not make such a decision, but the history of Ensworth students' participation in athletics provided confidence for this decision. In concert with present research regarding multi-sport participation as well as Ensworth's athletic philosophy, we strongly encourage prospective student-athletes to participate in multiple sports and extracurricular activities.
