The Middle School Falcons represent The École in the CONSAT League (Confederation of New York School and Team Sports), competing each year in volleyball, basketball, and soccer. Falcons teams are open to students in 6th through 8th Grade and provide an opportunity to develop athletic skills, team spirit, and sportsmanship in a competitive setting.
Participation in the Falcons program may also include exciting highlights, such as:
- A short basketball game at Madison Square Garden
- A soccer showcase at Red Bull Arena
- Travel opportunities to tournaments organized by the AEFE (Agency for French Schools Abroad)

Registration and After-School Coordination
We understand that not all students trying out for Falcons teams will be selected, and by the time squads are announced, After-School activities on Wednesdays and Thursdays may already be full. To avoid scheduling conflicts, we encourage parents to register for Wednesday/Thursday After-School activities when registration opens on Monday, July 14 at 12:00 p.m. (EDT).
If your child makes the Falcons squad, you will be refunded for any After-School activities missed due to practices or games.
