Physical Education

Physical Education Overview

Physical Education is more than just exercise but it’s preparation for life. Our PE program challenges students to build strength, endurance, and agility while developing discipline, teamwork, and resilience.

About Physical Education

Through structured activities, classical games, and team sports, students push their limits, set goals, and grow in confidence. PE also connects to academics but most importantly, PE builds character. Students learn to work hard, overcome challenges, and lead by example, skills that extend far beyond the gym. By fostering lifelong fitness habits and a mindset of perseverance, we prepare students to be strong, capable, and ready for any challenge.

As they progress, students focus on expressing and applying their knowledge effectively. They learn to communicate persuasively through writing, speaking, and creative projects, using their understanding to make meaningful contributions in both academics and life. The Upper School experience equips students with the tools they need to think deeply, communicate clearly, and positively impact the world around them.
