Athletics
Waldo International School offers a range of after-school atheletics for parents to choose from.
Sports are essential to building character in children. They encourage cooperative play and teamwork while teaching children about healthy competition and striving to succeed. Children also benefit by further development of their fine and gross motor skills as well as helping them to focus and strategy. Children engaging in sports often become more aware of their bodies, stretching and leading an active lifestyle.
Fencing

He is enthusiastic about sharing his passion for this sport with The Waldo School community.
