At North Point School for Boys we believe that physical education, fitness, and wellness are at the core foundation of student development. We offer a multitude of competitive and non-competitive programming options to ensure our students are encouraged to live active and healthy lifestyles.
We Encourage Active Learning

North Point competes within the Calgary Independent School Athletic Association (CISAA) offering competitive teams for cross country running, golf, volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, badminton, and track and field. These competitive teams are open to students in Grade 7 and up and participation in school athletic teams is highly encouraged as we enjoy having so many diverse student-athletes within our student body.
We also offer structured intramural programming for students in Grade 3 and up, to provide an opportunity to compete in a variety of different sports and activities during their recess breaks. Intramural sports include fun inter-school leagues from floor hockey, basketball, soccer, dodgeball, handball, and some fun alternative drop-in options for students to participate. Participation in intramural league sports is encouraged by awarding students navigator points for their participation, as well as unique awards to promote student leadership, character, a demonstration of the 5 R’s, and student excellence.
