As an IB World School, SAIS recognizes the significance of its athletic program in nurturing inquisitive, knowledgeable, and balanced global citizens. We firmly believe that sports play a crucial role in the holistic development of students.
Our objective is to inspire students to cherish and understand the advantages of physical activity. Through sports, we aim to aid in the development of moral qualities, social skills, and emotional maturity. Students are encouraged to cultivate citizenship attributes such as cooperation, leadership, self-discipline, fairness, honesty in their interactions with others, and respect. By participating in sports, students can learn valuable life lessons that will serve them well beyond the playing field.
Currently, SAIS offers a diverse range of athletic programs including golf, soccer, basketball, and squash. Our students have achieved remarkable success in golf competitions and squash events, earning numerous championship awards.
To further enhance their physical skills and team spirit, our primary and middle school students participate in friendly matches against other international schools. These competitions provide valuable opportunities for students to develop their athletic abilities while fostering camaraderie and a sense of belonging.
Moreover, being an athletically inclined student at SAIS offers a distinct advantage when planning for university. Our students can leverage their athletic achievements and experiences to strengthen their university applications, making them more competitive candidates. At SAIS, we are proud of our athletic program and the many opportunities it provides for our students to excel both on and off the field.
