Teaching
The Three A's
The RCDS no-cut after-school sports program expands on the traditional benefits of athletics with a focus on the Three A’s: ability, attendance and attitude. The overall goal of the program is for student-athletes to develop life skills that help them become more successful in all their endeavors. After-school sports begin in fifth grade, and more than 80% of Upper School students participate. Our no-cut policy creates an inclusive environment where students with varying degrees of athletic talent can all succeed.
Physical Education Focuses on Fitness and Fun
Physical education at RCDS encompasses age-appropriate activities led by professionals who teach physical fitness and athletic skills, self-discipline, and teamwork in a well-managed, safe environment. Instruction begins in Pre-K, with two classes each week. Students in Beginners through eighth grade have gym classes four or five days a week.
“Preparing responsible student-athletes with a good attitude who are loyal to their teammates and the School is a priority. While we stress the importance of maintaining a competitive edge, the combination of competition, teamwork, and fun motivates our players to do their best.”Paul "Campy" Campanella
