Catholic education forms the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Physical Education plays a vital role in this mission by supporting health, well-being, and character, while teaching students to value the body as a gift from God.
Aligned with New York State Next Generation Learning Standards for Physical Education standards and national best practices, our curriculum is rigorous, age-appropriate, and rooted in faith. It aims to:
- Build Motor Skills and Physical Literacy – Helping students gain competence and confidence in movement.
- Promote Lifelong Fitness and Wellness – Encouraging healthy habits and active living.
- Foster Character and Responsibility – Instilling teamwork, perseverance, respect, and inclusion
In our inclusive classrooms, every student is supported and encouraged to participate. With differentiated instruction and safe, structured environments, students grow in coordination, confidence, and social-emotional skills through fitness activities, games, and sports.
Our program fosters responsibility for healthy habits and prepares students for active, balanced lives. Instruction is culturally responsive and rooted in faith, teaching that caring for the body is an act of gratitude to God.
Through this approach, Physical Education helps students flourish as strong, capable, and compassionate contributors to the world.
