The School of Athletics attracts pupils who are talented in sports and who are prepared to make a serious commitment to both sports and school. ''The Sports Programme'' provides pupils this opportunity along with eligibility for further studies at university. In addition, they develop in their chosen sport and prepare for their future working lives. Besides their chosen sport and the compulsory core subjects, pupils take courses which are beneficial for athletes such as health and nutrition, training techniques, and mental training. Their chosen sport classes are scheduled for three half-day sessions per week and contain both theory and practice. RIG - the National Football Upper Secondary School - is also included in the School of Athletics.
