FRIENDS AND
champions AFS has 49 interscholastic teams in 20 sports at the middle and upper school levels and a Lower School afterschool athletic program. Interscholastic sports begin in Middle School with student-athletes developing their individual talents while experiencing with their teammates the winning and losing that comes with competition. Our Upper School program welcomes both novice players and those at the highest levels of skill with a desire to continue their competitive athletic experience in college. Since the founding of the Friends Schools League in 1982, AFS has won 31 Varsity team championships.

“Everything I’ve learned, the very person I have become, has been shaped by AFS. I did Model UN, was the yearbook editor, peer tutored, participated in various math and science activities and played three Varsity sports, one of which I captained.” — AFS Graduate Class of 2008 21
