Physical Education
We believe that Physical Education is a phase of education which makes unique and important contributions to the total development of all students. A healthy body and sound mind complement each other and are frameworks for optimum mental effectiveness. Movement begins before birth and continues throughout life. It is the children's way of learning about themselves and the world around them. It is their way of learning by doing. A Chinese proverb states, "I hear and forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand."We are the part of education that MOVES!
Our program includes lessons and activities that should enhance your child's skills in motor development, team and individual sport skills, as well as contribute to self-esteem, positive interpersonal relationships, responsible behavior and independence.
