Enriched Physical Education Program

Physical education is a developmental process that begins in early childhood and continues throughout one’s life. Our physical education program is a planned step by step K-6 program that provides cognitive challenges and different learning experiences in a variety of activity areas. Quality physical education promotes, through a variety of planned activities, each student’s optimal physical, mental, emotional and social development, and provides activities and sports that all students enjoy and can pursue throughout their lives. In order for all students to adopt a physically active lifestyle, individuals must possess an understanding of body mechanics and the accompanying attitudes and skill that promote safe, regular activity. We provide the necessary foundation of knowledge and skill related to movement and physical activity. From motor skill learning to movement concepts, physical education recognizes that all students possess their own unique capabilities and are in charge of their own physical, emotional and social well being.
