Athletics
The Bethesda International Academy athletic program exists to glorify God by developing Christian character and excellence in its student-athletes through life-transforming experiences and opportunities.
At BIA a diverse athletic program enables students so inclined to develop, enhance and use their God-given physical and mental gifts.
Opportunities are available for both individual and team participation. Athletics offer a unique and effective environment in which to learn some of the Christian life’s most valued lessons. These can include sacrifice, diligence, perseverance, respect, and putting the good of the group ahead of what is good for oneself.
