ATHLETIC PROGRAM

Garden School’s athletic program gives students a chance to participate in sports in ways that are accessible and supportive. We offer a variety of activities and operate with a “no-cut policy” for all our teams, which ensures that everyone who participates on a team has a fair chance to contribute actively to the team.

Garden School is a long-standing member of the Independent School Athletic League (I.S.A.L.) Our school has traditionally performed very well in the league, winning a number of championships throughout our school history. Garden School students are able to compete both on the Middle School and Varsity levels, with the first year of team eligibility in grade 7 and continuing through the senior year of high school.

All students are welcome to participate on any team or in any activity. Required practice is a minimum of two times a week, with at least one game a week during most sports seasons. All students are required to complete the Team Participation Permissions Form, which can be found on your Garden School Blackbaud account, in order to play on a team.

Inquiries regarding any of Garden School’s Athletic Program teams, schedules, and requirements should be directed to the Athletic Director, Flance Dervishi by email fdervishi@gardenschool.org or phone (718) 335-6363.
