Athletics

 Physical Education is an integral part of the school curriculum. Participation in sports develops and instills the qualities of teamwork, healthy competition, self-control and self-discipline, and fair play. We believe that the physical fitness, the discipline, and values acquired in PE classes can help promote balanced comprehensive spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development.    

 

PE classes are not only fun; they can also enhance and promote academic success. They teach students many skills such as leadership, good sportsmanship, team work, and ability to live and lead a sustainable life style. For example, in High School, students are offered elective courses including a combination of health issues, aerobic fitness, muscle toning, flexibility, and balance training with the purpose of exposing students to a variety of topics so they can find alternative ways to be physically and mentally active for the rest of their lives.
