Overview and Philosophy

Welcome to Laboratory Schools Athletics, where we believe that sports and athletics are integral components of a well-rounded education. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that physical activity not only fosters physical health but also contributes to the development of character, teamwork, and leadership skills.

We strive to provide a supportive and inclusive environment where students can excel both on and off the field, emphasizing the importance of sportsmanship, resilience, and personal growth. At Lab we view sports as an opportunity for students to challenge themselves, build camaraderie, and cultivate a lifelong commitment to health and wellness. In keeping with the vision and philosophy of the University of Chicago Athletics program, Lab Athletics is designed to enrich the life of each and every one of our student athletes.
