Athletics, Clubs, and Activities

School clubs, activities, and athletics are an important part of the vibrant campus life at John Paul the Great Academy.  They foster friendship, solidarity, school pride, and excitement, but above all, they serve to help young people grow in discipline and virtue. In order to foster the formation of the whole person, we encourage this growth in virtue through our sports, clubs, and other activities. Adopting St. Josemaria Escriva’s ideal, we say: omnia in excellentia (in all things excellence)!
