The Weber Sports Science Academy, featuring an Honors Diploma program, is designed to educate students in fields including physical therapies, sports medicine, physical training, fitness, and sports management. This program offers exclusive opportunities for Weber students to develop advanced knowledge and skills in these disciplines which is typically only available at the college level.
Complementing Weber’s full array of competitive athletic teams, The Weber Sports Science Academy integrates a comprehensive academic curriculum with applied learning opportunities. The curriculum includes anatomy and physiology, sports medicine, research methods, sports nutrition, strength and conditioning, athletic training, and clinical internships. Students who fulfill the Honors track will earn an Honors Diploma upon graduation, paving a path for college and subsequent sports/fitness related careers.
Students have access to added resources for hands-on learning in Weber’s sports annex -- an indoor facility for sport-specific training and strength and conditioning. Equipped with batting cages with retractable nets, free weights, racks, TRX suspension trainers, weighted sleds, exercise balls, and myofascial release tools, the facility is staffed by experienced professional trainers and coaches. The sports annex serves the Sports Science students as well as athletes in every season under all weather conditions.

    I’ve been in education for 25 years, and I’ve never worked at a school where athletic programming meaningfully reflected a true Jewish mission of having health and wellness inform competition as it does at Weber.

  • Scott Seagraves, Athletics Director

    The Sports Science Academy attracts a diverse group of students.
    We’ve had theatre kids, STEM kids, kids who’ve never played a sport before, learning about their bodies, nutrition, proper movement patterns, and exercise science. We’ve had to build another weight room to accommodate the amount of interest in our programs.

  • Rabbi Ed Harwitz, Head of School

    Coaches will tell you about the important work and educational impact the academy has made, but it’s the cultural impact that I’m most proud of. In one way or another, nearly two-thirds of our students are directly involved through competitive athletics, fitness and training programs, and different classes. That’s created a culture of health, wellness, and fitness as a core value embraced by faculty and students.
