Fitness is a noncompetitive option for students with the goal of establishing lifelong healthy habits. SBS students are invited to participate in a variety of different athletic activities and develop new passions or interests. Each season, students rotate through learning a new sport (for example, tennis, soccer, basketball, and ultimate frisbee), practicing individual healthy habits and mindfulness (such as yoga, pilates, and circuit training), as well as exploring opportunities off-campus to learn a new activity (including rock climbing, gymnastics, hiking, and ice skating).

Students in Musical Theater work hard throughout the term to rehearse and prepare a musical theater production, which culminates in a weekend of performances. Musical Theater rehearsals enhance students' individual theatrical and musical talents, promote public speaking and voice, and encourage teamwork, leadership, and creativity. Students can audition for a lead role, participate in the ensemble cast, work in the tech and costuming crew, and design the set, costumes, and props for the show. Our most recent drama productions have included The25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Urinetown.

Our Basketball program consists of both Varsity and JV teams, competing within the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), the Western New England Preparatory School Athletic Association (WNEPSAA), and the River Valley Athletic League (RVAL).

The team is founded on commitment, character, and joy. At all levels, teams focus on building individual skills within the context of being a member of a team.

The Varsity Softball team competes within the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) and the Western New England Preparatory School Athletic Association (WNEPSAA). With four Western New England Championships (1988, 1989, 1995, and 1996) and one New England Championship in 2000, the softball team has a strong history of successful competition against much larger schools. But as much as winning is part of the history of the school, it is not the focus of the program. The focus is to provide players a fun environment where they can learn the skills and develop as a player.
