The SCH Lower School for Boys Physical Education Department believes that all of our boys should be exposed to a healthy lifestyle that encourages daily exercise, proper diet, and healthy habits. A consistent exercise program is emphasized throughout the curriculum by providing exercises as part of the lesson. In each class, students are exposed to the flexibility, cardiovascular, agility, and strength components of exercise.
Skill development is a regular focus of the physical education curriculum. Students will continue to focus on skill development with activities in partnerships and in games with small groups that allow everyone to participate. Skill development is measured through continued observation. It is important to the department to allow every student to develop at his own pace and to encourage each individual to achieve his potential.
Sportsmanship is an integral part of the PE curriculum as well. With the ability to work with each other, students can have an excellent experience in class. The discussions that surround this topic are respect, cooperation (teamwork), appreciation for others, and fair play.
