GO RAIDERS!!!

As an independent school, North Cross offers a broad educational experience and encourages students to follow their passions and perhaps develop new interests by participating in a variety of activities, including athletics.  We encourage our students to sign up, show up, have new experiences, develop new friendships as they develop new skills, and perhaps step out of their comfort zones as they step out on our courts, fields, and swim in our pool.  We’re a facility rich school with a broad array of athletic programs to try.  

Make no mistake, our students, teams and coaches enjoy winning and strive for that “W”.  No one likes to lose, but we all know there are more things to learn from a sports experience than just winning.  Athletes learn teamwork, personal responsibility, achievement, and they also learn through disappointment.   Being on a team is important - after all, most people will be on some sort of team in their future, so working together is a life skill they’ll need.  And even if a student doesn’t make the starting lineup, they learn they can and will contribute.

North Cross School was a charter member of both the Blue Ridge Conference (BRC) for our girls’ teams and the Virginia Independent Conference (VIC) for our boys’ teams at the Varsity and JV levels.  In the Fall of 2022, the two conferences combined to become the Blue Ridge Athletic Conference (BRAC), of which North Cross is still a member school.  North Cross School is also a member of the Virginia Independent School Athletic Association (VISAA). VISAA is the state governing body for independent school athletics and sponsors all state playoffs for varsity sports. The program, given its small size, has quite an impressive history: 175 conference titles, and 27 state championships since it began competing in 1974.

We expect a lot from our students, in the classroom and on the field; and they deliver. In fact, 20% of the class of 2023 committed to playing sports at the collegiate level, when the national average is just 6%!
