Middle School Physical Education

We want to make sure our students are living at their healthiest and most physically fit, every day.

Get Moving

Our goal is to give students frequent opportunities to develop their minds, bodies, and spirits. We work to create an atmosphere of wellness in the classroom that will extend into our community. By encouraging active participation, our program is based in physical fitness, character education, skill development, and the acquisition of sport knowledge. We teach students about current facts and practices for physical fitness, healthful living, and leisure-time pursuits. These ideas, in conjunction with kindness and caring, will enable our students to flourish throughout their lives.

The Middle School physical education curriculum aims to promote a healthy lifestyle by providing students the opportunity to gain current knowledge of physical fitness and healthy living practices. Students actively participate in a variety of lifetime, team and individual sports including, but not limited to, tennis, yoga, cricket, cross country, basketball, volleyball, soccer, team handball, badminton and cooperative games. We strive to have each and every student experience some success and enjoyment in being physically active by promoting a healthy lifestyle. 

The study of body systems is included in sixth grade science. Drug education is taught in seventh grade and human relations is taught in eighth grade.
