Core Curriculum
Physical Education
The philosophy of the Physical
Education Department is based
on the belief that an
individual's physical and social
development is as important as
their academic growth. The
Department encourages students
to learn skills for
participation in a variety of
aerobic and anaerobic
activities,
to gain an understanding of
movement and spatial awareness,
and to improve personal strength
and endurance in order to
develop an appreciation for a
healthy, active lifestyle.
Students
will develop sportsmanship,
teamwork, and leadership
abilities through
developmentally appropriate
competition.
Play Fair, Play Hard, Play
Together.
Consequently, the Physical
Education Department seeks to
impart to its students through
its K-12 curriculum an enduring
understanding of specific
knowledge, principles, and
habits of mind such as:
- Participate as a member of a
team, acquire leadership
abilities,
understand good citizenship and
friendly competition
- Develop kinesthetic,
coordination, and loco-motor
skills to
play and live actively
- Provide character education
and personal development
opportunities: challenge one's
personal limits and express
care and appreciation for others
- Establish habits for life-long
fitness and well-being
- Instill a love of game and
sport from both a spectator and
participant perspective |
