Athletics

Playing hard + having fun = great sports
Physical activity is critical to development and an exciting part of life at Foxcroft. Students may choose to play an interscholastic sport, to participate in a variety of non-competitive sports and P.E. classes, or to ride. Our outstanding Riding Program accommodates all levels of ability and a variety of disciplines and our Exceptional Proficiency Program enables girls to pursue special talents and passions beyond Foxcroft.

– Michelle Woodruff, Athletic Director

“Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts – these are the enduring qualities that our girls develop through sports.”

Foxcroft’s Motto

mens sana in corpore sano
A healthy mind
in a healthy body
