Physical Education
Approach
The Physical Education Department creates environments where students can indulge in healthy movement, play, and social engagement while developing a range of critical life skills. All three years of Physical Education begin with team-building and progress to a range of activities that focus on cooperation, skill development, and healthy living.
Students are also exposed to a variety of team, individual, and lifelong sports that open doors to new interests and enhance their physical, interpersonal, and leadership skills. Evaluation is based on active participation, enthusiasm, and improvement.
Application: Adventure Challenge
Middle School students kick off each year with a fun and interactive unit called "adventure challenge," during which they join forces with their peers to accomplish a series of activities that strengthen competitiveness, coordination, collaboration, and confidence.
