PWS Athletics
Age-appropriate sport is an essential part of the Waldorf curriculum, supporting a healthy balance of physical and emotional development.Throughout the school day, every student participates in a rich array of movement, games, and athletics that advance along with the developing child.
In Middle School and High School, our student athletes have the opportunity to join school athletics teams, where they practice team-building and learn the importance of discipline, respect and sportsmanship whatever the outcome.

Middle School Athletics
The introduction of competitive sports in the Middle School years is an important step in the Waldorf movement curriculum. Having developed physical and social confidence in Lower School playing cooperative games emphasizing imagination and the joy of movement, Middle School students apply these skills to more traditional competitive sports. Participating in Middle School athletics also gives students a chance to exercise their powers of social grace and sportsmanship as they compete against peers from Portland-area schools beginning in Grade 7 when all students (no try-outs) may participate in PWS’ competitive after-school athletics programs.
High School Athletics
PWHS offers a variety of after-school team sports for our high school students. The schools with whom we compete are of similar size and have a range of program experience and maturity. Because PWHS is committed to inclusion and participation, all of our sports are open to any student who commits to coming to practice and playing. Through their coaches, our students are inspired to reach their athletic potential and show outstanding sportsmanship on and off the field. Waldorf sports teams become powerful forces to be reckoned with–precisely because they are steeped in a spirit of generosity and inclusion.
The PWHS athletics program is growing along with our school. Students interested in other sports have the opportunity to advocate for and round up support for new initiatives.
We have offered a wide variety of after-school activities over the years: ultimate frisbee, basketball, volleyball, baseball, cross-country, track & field, fencing and more. We constantly review which extra-curricular activities we could offer in any given year. For more information, contact PWS Athletic Director Justice Rosales.
