Physical Education Overview

From PreKindergarten to Grade 8, the Physical Education program is developmental and skill-based. In the early grades, the students begin to develop sports skills, practice locomotor skills and experience creative movement through music, dance, and rhythmic activities.  As the students reach the middle elementary grades, they begin to develop their skill levels and learn to work together as a team. They strive toward greater awareness of others and receive an introduction to sports skills.  In the upper elementary and middle school grades, the program includes cooperative games, standard games, such as capture the flag and ultimate Frisbee, and team sports, including field hockey, soccer, and basketball. Students develop skills through movement exploration, specific skill work and playing games.
