COLUMBUS
TORAH ACADEMY ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
GO
LIONS!
Columbus Torah Academy is excited about their sports this year!
Athletics, like academics, provides the challenges that help shape both
the mind and body. Many studies show that qualities such as commitment
and desire drive our students to compete and excel in the classroom,
on the field, and later in their chosen profession.
STUDENT
ATHLETES
Many
students initially are concerned with the challenges of combining academics
and athletics at the high school level, but research has proven that
it is a combination that works. In fact, athletics helps students with
their academics: many have found their grades to be higher during season
play when compared to out-of-season. Playing sports, competitively or
intramural, forces students to focus and organize their time.
THE
PROGRAM
