American Hebrew Academy

There is a wonderful school in America located in central North Carolina (Greensboro) called the American Hebrew Academy. I have been extremely impressed with the infrastructure, staff and students at this school and have been a strong advocate for it's Mission. Our magazine (Sports Carolina) displayed a feature story on the school and it's athletics programs. There was an ACC Seniors All-Star basketball game held at their basketball arena that was a complete sell out. What a lovely facility for the athletic programs to be held. The grades are from 9th to 12th (high school) The current enrollment is 135 and they have 80 % in-boarding and 20 % out-boarding. The school is represented by 26 states and 8 foreign countries. The school is located on a 100 acre park like campus with a 22 acre lake. There is 24 hour around the clock security and the school is only 90 miles from the city of Charlotte, 58 miles from the Duke University and UNC-Chapel Hill and 70 miles from the capital city of Raleigh.

Get fit for life. There's much more to the athletics story at the American Hebrew Academy than just team sports, but that's a good place to start.
For a small school, there's a big selection. We offer many different interscholastic sports teams. Most of our students try out for a team: baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross-country, soccer, softball*, swimming, tennis*, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling* are currently offered. Naturally, your coaches know you as a person -- many are also your teachers and advisors.

Get involved. We have facilities on campus that allow students every opportunity to get in shape and have a great time doing it. Our 88,000 square foot Athletic Center is always busy with a competition-sized eight lane pool, basketball courts, rock climbing walls, a wrestling room, cardiovascular equipment and a variety of exercise equipment. All of our sports fields have outdoor lighting and are professionally maintained. We also have our boathouse that sits on the shore of our 22-acre lake. All of this allows us to offer a variety of options outside of interscholastic sports, such as aerobic and anaerobic training, boating/fishing, golf, karate/self defense, lacrosse, racquetball, rock climbing, softball, swing dancing, tennis, touch football, ultimate frisbee, weight training, and yoga.
Break a sweat. When it comes to athletics, here's our philosophy: getting fit and staying fit is a way of life. Whether you're a standout athlete or just enjoy a healthy jog or an intense workout, we're here to support you.
