Charlottesville City Schools

Athletics

CCS athletic programs start in middle school, with an emphasis on sportsmanship, healthy competition, and becoming a positive team player. At CMS, students have the opportunity to participate in football, volleyball, cheerleading, swimming, basketball, baseball, track, and softball. At CHS, they can additionally participate in cross country, field hockey, golf, wrestling, lacrosse, soccer, and tennis. 

Clubs and Activities

Extra-curricular activities build relationships, improve academic performance, and add extra fun to the school day. At our elementaries, teachers and parent-volunteers lead clubs in areas like photography, cooking, or dancing. At CMS and CHS, extracurricular clubs and activities include everything from music to debate to foreign-language-interest groups.

To encourage our students to participate in extra-curricular activities, our middle and high school provide an after-school activities bus that returns students home after clubs or sports practices. (CHS offers an activities bus at two different times). Contact your school for details. 

After-school enrichment programs for students are offered at our elementary schools in partnership with the Piedmont Family YMCA. YMCA After School operates every day that children attend school, beginning at school dismissal and closing at 5:30 pm.
