Athletics

A strong interscholastic athletics program fosters a sense of pride within our community. Participation helps students develop physical, mental, and social skills, build a positive self-image, and embrace teamwork and cooperation. At the United Nations International School, both coaches and athletes contribute to teaching valuable life skills and core values. Our program is designed to empower student-athletes, instill self-confidence, and cultivate leadership.

Physical Education

The Physical Education Department is committed to providing learning experiences that foster empathy, kindness, and a lifelong appreciation for physical activity. Our goal is to help students achieve a balanced and healthy lifestyle through a comprehensive curriculum that includes both traditional and non-traditional sports, with a strong emphasis on social and emotional well-being.

While not every student aspires to be an athlete, our focus is on developing essential life skills and inspiring a love for physical activity.

Physical Education classes are held in the UNIS gym, bubble, fitness room, turf roof, and Junior School gym. Aligned with UNIS’s mission to provide a holistic and empowering education, students across all grades participate in Physical Education multiple times a week.
