The Bryn Mawr School was founded in 1885 in order to provide girls with the same educational opportunities that boys enjoyed, which included an emphasis on physical activity. Now, more than ever, we know that participation in sports helps develop strong, self-confident, well-balanced young women. We continue to celebrate the challenges of competition and appreciate the lessons for life that sports provide.
In the humanistic tradition, The Bryn Mawr School promotes the development of mind, body, and spirit. Driven by the intention to cultivate the whole person, Bryn Mawr supports and promotes each individual. Bryn Mawr is committed to supporting a highly competitive athletic program that strives for excellence in all teams. Our goal is that each girl will compete at her own ability level in a variety of athletic activities.
Bryn Mawr believes that participation in athletics provides an opportunity for girls to develop strong leadership skills, an increased sense of self, a healthy competitive spirit, and a lifelong commitment to fitness. In addition, the athletic experience fosters a sense of camaraderie, teamwork, and school spirit.
