The mission of Claremont Prep’s athletic programs is to foster the quest for excellence by creating an educational and competitive experience within an atmosphere of sportsmanship. Successful programs develop individual and team potential by promoting high standards of competence, character, civility, and citizenship.

We believe in fostering an environment where students are motivated by enthusiasm and the power of praise.  The athletic department's faculty consistently maintain an atmosphere where all students can participate and feel successful.  Lessons are created to encourage students to learn to self-motivate, self regulate and set realistic and attainable goals.

Faculty members stress the development of skills, communication, and cooperation.  In addition, they guide students into being the very best they can and encourage a feeling of lasting personal success.  Throughout every lesson faculty members view themselves not only as physical education teachers but as life educators.
