Student Activities
 Sports are a necessary component of an integral human formation. In accordance with this criterion, sport activities are held at Shoreless Lake School to a prudent and suitable degree. Students are encouraged to participate in the school's sports and co-curricular activities. Given the campus’ proximity to pristine natural spaces, students have the opportunity to go on hiking trips all year round. There is also a 75-foot pool available for the late spring and summer months and a small soccer field. The Student Activity Center is located on a property called “El Pedregal,” in Mazarrón, Murcia.
 Only a few yards from the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the Student Center –home to the boys on weekends and vacations– includes students’ sleeping quarters, recreation areas, the main library, a study center, a chapel, playing fields, and scenic grounds where students can commune with nature. The Student Activity Center offers a wide variety of activities including fishing, swimming, gardening, raising and tending animals, and watching films. There are annual trips to the cities of Granada, Toledo, Burgos, and Madrid as well as other field trips that both enhance and complement the academic program.
School Day
Classes begin at 8:30 A.M. and end at 3:00 P.M. Students must leave the school at that time unless they are involved in a supervised after-school activity. The school day is distributed over six periods of 50 minutes each:
