Athletics offers all students the opportunity to participate on a team and in meaningful physical activity. The program actively promotes the health and safety of the participants and provides opportunity for growth through individual and team participation. OES emphasizes positive group involvement, fun, good sportsmanship, and respect for reasonable authority, fellow team members, and opponents. The School participates in a number of athletic leagues and carries a full schedule of games in soccer, volleyball, cross country, fencing, basketball, skiing, tennis, lacrosse, and track.

OES operates on a no-cut policy — there is a team for every level of experience and skill. Any student choosing to participate will have the opportunity to be on a team and play in the games. The more skilled students will be selected for Varsity teams by the coaches. Players at the Varsity level will have opportunities to play, but not always on an equal basis. Students participating on the Junior Varsity or Freshman teams will play in every contest.
