Sports
Individual Sports is designed to give MS and HS age students a chance to either refine their skills at an individual sport they can play for life, or to learn a new skill. It can be taken for one full year only. Both Niles and St. Joseph locations begin and end with tennis, then Niles students have the option of choosing skiing at Bittersweet or swimming in SJ and SJ students have the option of choosing swimming at SJ or skiing at Bittersweet if so desired, but that winter decision must be made and communicated by the start of the semester to Sharon by the time school begins.

Swim Lessons (group)
Any group swim lessons by certified instructors once a week, such as those offered at Andrews University, either YMCA or SouthShore Health and Raquet Club are acceptable. (If signing up at the BH/SJ YMCA, you must register during normal member or non-member registration times, then be reimbursed by the school). You can choose this generic option upon registration, but please email Sharon with the location and class title soon thereafter.
