CLUBS AND ATHLETICS
From athletics to after-school clubs, students discover passions, build confidence, and strengthen community.
Students can extend their learning and pursue their passions through a variety of extracurricular opportunities. Open Window offers competitive athletic teams for middle school students and a diverse selection of after-school clubs for Kindergarten through 8th grade, fostering teamwork, creativity, leadership, and fun.
ATHLETICS
Open Window offers a full slate of middle school athletic teams for students in Grades 5–8. We compete in the Cascade Middle School League alongside other local independent schools. Our seasons are intentionally short (8–10 weeks) to encourage participation in multiple sports and activities and to leave time for fun.
Seasonal Sports:
Fall: Cross Country, Girls Volleyball
Winter: Boys and Girls Basketball
Spring: Tennis, Track & Field, Ultimate Frisbee
All students are welcome to join. We guarantee playing time, focus on skill development, and match teams against similarly skilled opponents to ensure healthy, exciting competition.
| Our coaches, many of whom are also classroom teachers, know our students well and create inclusive, spirited team environments. |
ACADEMIC TEAMS
For students who love a challenge of a different kind, our afterschool academic competitive teams offer exciting ways to dive deeper and shine:
First Lego League: Engineering, programming, and problem-solving meet in this hands-on team competition that blends STEM with teamwork and innovation.
Debate: Students learn to build strong arguments, speak persuasively, and think on their feet, all while developing confidence and critical thinking.
These programs are offered by application and are designed for students who want to stretch their skills in a supportive, collaborative setting.
MORE THAN A GAME OR MATCH
Whether on the court or in a tournament room, our students are:
Practicing leadership and collaboration
Taking meaningful risks
Learning how to navigate wins and setbacks with grace
Building friendships rooted in shared goals and mutual respect
At Open Window, we see extracurriculars as essential to whole-child development. These experiences spark joy, build resilience, and create space for every student to grow.
