The EFAC offers an indoor training facility equipped with free weights, cardiovascular equipment, suspension training, an indoor batting cage, an indoor golf training area, and other tools to help increase strength, speed, agility, flexibility, and overall fitness. We also have a full-time Athletic Trainer to meet the sports medicine needs of our athletes.

  • Rabbi Ed Harwitz, Head of School

    I’ve been in education for 25 years, and I’ve never worked at a school where athletic programming meaningfully reflected a true Jewish mission of having health and wellness inform competition as it does at Weber.

  • Rabbi Ed Harwitz, Head of School

    Coaches will tell you about the important work and educational impact the academy has made, but it’s the cultural impact that I’m most proud of. In one way or another, nearly two-thirds of our students are directly involved through competitive athletics, fitness and training programs, and different classes. That’s created a culture of health, wellness, and fitness as a core value embraced by faculty and students.
