Physical/Health Education

We all agree that a life­long habit of reg­u­lar exer­cise is of pri­mary impor­tance for a healthy life. Our phys­i­cal edu­ca­tion pro­gram is designed to develop fun­da­men­tal skills, which will enable your child to pur­sue the exer­cise or sport of their choice. Whether it be dance, horse­back rid­ing, swim­ming or soc­cer all par­tic­i­pants need to know: the ready posi­tion, how to stop, how to make a fast start, turn, move back­ward and for­ward as well as many other skills. The empha­sis is on the enjoy­ment of being active. The sci­ences of nutri­tion and phys­i­ol­ogy are woven into the lessons adding inter­est and mak­ing con­nec­tions to the foods we eat. Team­work and coop­er­a­tion form the foun­da­tion for the pur­suit of ath­letic activ­i­ties and the enjoy­ment of com­pe­ti­tion. Chil­dren are active in the class­room as well as at play.

The many oppor­tu­ni­ties for con­trol of move­ment assist in the devel­op­ment of per­sonal con­fi­dence, self-motivation, and dis­ci­pline. Our goal is to instill an enjoy­ment for being active built around the best we know of a healthy life.
