Physical Education

Mens sana in corpore sano. The ancient Roman ideal of "a healthy mind in a healthy body" is validated by current scientific evidence.  Physical activity is necessary for a strong and healthy body.  In addition, neuroscience supports the benefits to the brain and academic achievement as studies suggest a connection between physical activity and increased levels of alertness, mental function and learning. Therefore, we provide daily physical education.  Preschoolers engage in movement activities and learning to play games.  The period for elementary students is divided into three sections: exercises to promote fitness, skill development and sports/games.
