Athletics
Athletics at John Adams Academy build more than strength—they forge character. Middle school scholars compete in co-ed sports through the El Dorado County League, while high school scholars participate in CIF athletics and can choose PE or weight training electives. From classroom to court, our scholar-athletes grow as disciplined, virtuous leaders committed to teamwork and service.
