Physical Education
Our program is based on the belief that physical education is an integral part of children’s development.
Children build self-esteem and confidence by experiencing physical fitness in an environment where they can play, be active, and learn necessary skill sets that enhance their health. Teachers guide students through John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success to help each child work toward his or her personal best.
