Einstein Athletics aims to provide students with an opportunity to participate and compete in well-organized and professionally conducted sporting events, to provide students with opportunities to grow in sportsmanship, boost their self-esteem, create lasting friendships, and to promote honesty, commitment, courtesy, enthusiasm and discipline as values that are just as important as, or even above, winning.

Athletics in grades 1-6

Gymnastics Program:

Einstein has a recreational and gymnastics program for students in grades 1-6. They participate in the four artistic gymnastics apparatus  : Vault, bars, beam, and floor. Students in the recreational program work on building basic skills on each apparatus, as well as strength and flexibility, while those in the competitive program learn the routines established by USA gymnastics, an organization that is managed worldwide, and participate in competitions with other schools and clubs across Ecuador. In addition to the physical benefits, gymnastics fosters skills and values such as discipline,  perseverance, and teamwork.
