Physical Education and Dance

The Physical Education program in Middle School is composed of three separate courses that work together to provide students a well-rounded, comprehensive education in kinesthetic awareness, teamwork, and mind-body connection.  The program consists of dance classes, health and wellness classes, and physical education classes in the gymnasium. Combined, these classes meet five times per eight-day cycle.

In addition to the scheduled physical education classes, Middle School students have access to a variety of Athletics sports teams, beginning in 5th grade.
