What is a feast without a game of Viking Chess? What makes a challenge worth the effort unless a Gold Feather is at stake?
Humans frequently put forth their greatest effort while striving with others in competition. As the writer of the Book of Proverbs states, “Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” At the St. Jerome Institute, we provide arenas of competition that strengthen the student body, foster friendship and help our students attain excellence.
Such opportunities include school-wide competitions, in which students attempt to complete Institute Challenges as set forth by the headmaster. Other forms of competition include the Feast Day games, Athletic Field Day competitions, and the numerous sports played in Gymnasium class.
