Outside the Classroom
The three most popular areas of Upper School student life are athletics, theatrical and musical ensembles, and student clubs and organizations. Nearly 75% of Upper School students are members of at least one of SPA's 47 athletic teams in 17 sports; and many play an instrument, sing in a choir, or participate in one of the three annual theatrical productions. Finally, most students are members of at least one of the many Upper School student clubs and organizations such as Upper School Council, The Rubicon student newspaper, math team, book club, or Science Alliance.
