We nurture the spirit by focusing on fair play and good sportsmanship. Students participate in a progression of activities that engage them in situations that are challenging, yet where success is attainable. Whether competing against themselves or others, students work and play in an atmosphere where they can learn from their mistakes and celebrate their accomplishments. We develop the mind by teaching students increasingly complex concepts, rules, strategies, and techniques. We teach students how to perform a skill and explain the mechanics and physiology of performance.
Students learn to understand rules and team play.
They explore such concepts as directionality, spacing, and positioning, both as these relate to themselves and to others. The development of the body is a major objective of physical education. We offer students activities to develop physical fitness, including such areas as strength, endurance, balance, cardio-respiratory fitness, speed and agility. In all areas of our physical education program we stress knowledge, understanding, attitude, and performance in a manner that develops the whole child.
