Be a Student-Athlete at VES
We train hard. We play hard. We value teamwork, sportsmanship, our unique team traditions and the fierce challenge of a long-standing rivalry.
Students have the opportunity to participate regardless of their skill levels. We are as proud of our junior varsity players who work up to varsity as we are of our varsity players who go on to play in college. We celebrate the shot putter who sets a new state record as well as swimmers in their first race. Whether it is a state championship or a personal best, we compete with skill, integrity and the VES spirit.

We Work Hard and We Play Hard!
Each weekend we offer ten or more activities for students to get involved in, both on campus and in Lynchburg and the surrounding region. The majority of our boarding and day students want to be here on the weekends so they don’t miss out on the fun!
