ATHLETICS

A Message from Our Athletic Director
Socrates Academy emphasizes the importance that interscholastic team sports plays in the lives of our students. We believe that competitive athletics teaches lessons such as teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership.
Socrates currently competes in the Queen City Conference (QCC). The teams in the QCC consist of Carmel Christian, Grace Covenant, Trinity Episcopal, and Charlotte Prep. We also schedule schools in the Charlotte Area in non-conference matches/games. Socrates Academy currently offers Cross-Country, Girls Volleyball, Boys Soccer, Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Cheerleading, Track, and Girls Soccer, Coed Golf, and Girls Tennis.
Support is a core component of Socrates Academy’s athletic tradition. At Socrates Academy, Parental support is an integral component and a necessary part of our athletic success. We strongly encourage our parents to join the Owl Club.
