Athletics at Kimberton Waldorf School
Athletics at KWS
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 in the Middle School. Participation in one sport is mandatory in the High School.
