Athletics

At LISA Academy, our athletics program is an extension of our mission to foster well-rounded, high-achieving students prepared for success in college and beyond. Through sports, we instill values of discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and leadership—qualities that align with our vision of empowering students to reach their full potential. Just as we emphasize academic excellence, we believe in the power of athletics to build character, promote physical and mental well-being, and create a sense of community.

Campuses may offer other Athletic clubs such as baseball, track and field, cheer, swimming, tennis, and softball.

Participation in competition clubs may be based on a selection process/tryouts. Please contact your student's campus for details.
