The mission at Nichols is “To train minds, bodies and hearts for the work of life, and to carry into all we do the highest ideals of character and service".
An overall goal of the extracurricular athletic program is to promote that vision. The Nichols School Athletic Department endeavors to not only to develop the students’ athletic skills, but also to encourage students to be good citizens, to challenge their intellectual skills, and to teach them the value of teamwork.
