Athletics
The Athletic Department at Dorado Academy provides students with sports orientation, conditioning, health and training programs. Their goal is to help them reach their potential and, in turn, puts their teams in a position to succeed.
For many years, Dorado Academy’s sports teams have been recognized as one of the top contenders within Puerto Rico’s private schools. Dorado Academy is a member of the LAMPEI (Liga Atlética Mini de Escuelas Privadas Inc.), for 4th to 6th grades, and the PRHSAA (Puerto Rico High School Athletic Alliance), for 7th to 12th grades.
All teams are chosen each season: Fall (Aug-Oct), Winter (Dec-Feb), and Spring (Mar-May).
The teachers in charge of the Athletics Department are David "Papo" Reyes (Athletic Director), Yarelie La Puerta, Ramón Rivera, and Raúl Sosa. If you are interested in being a part of one of the teams, please contact Mr. Reyes at dreyes@doradoacademy.org.
Why is the Dolphin the Dorado Academy mascot?
At Dorado Academy, our location in a coastal community connects us directly to the sea. Inspired by this proximity, we chose the dolphin as our mascot because it symbolizes both our connection to the marine environment and the values we strive to instill in our school community.
-
Dolphins are known for their exceptional intelligence. They are among the most intelligent animals in the world, with complex brains that allow them to learn quickly, solve problems creatively, and communicate in advanced ways. These qualities align with our mission to foster dynamic, autonomous, and resilient learning.
-
In terms of social skills, dolphins are highly social animals that form complex collaborative networks. They work together to hunt, protect one another, and raise their young. This spirit of teamwork mirrors the importance of collaboration within our community.
-
Dolphins also demonstrate emotional intelligence. Like humans, they exhibit empathy, generosity, altruism, and a strong sense of attachment. These traits remind us of the importance of living in a community and fostering relationships based on respect and understanding.
-
Each dolphin has its own unique personality, showcasing that every individual is valuable and distinctive. This principle is fundamental at Dorado Academy, where we provide opportunities for students to develop their talents and create educational experiences that encompass individual interests.

-
Dolphins are also known for their joy and playful spirit, qualities that encourage us to embrace learning, explore new ideas with enthusiasm, and fully develop our talents and skills.
-
Finally, dolphins excel at solving problems creatively and persevering until they achieve their goals. This trait inspires our community to face challenges with imagination and determination.
These qualities perfectly align with the mission and objectives of our school. The dolphin represents not only our environment but also our ideals. It reflects who we are at Dorado Academy and who we aspire to be. It serves as a constant reminder that, like dolphins, we can achieve great things when we combine talent, empathy, and teamwork.
