  • Early Childhood

    In ECE, physical education and wellness concepts are introduced through daily routines and active exploration. Children develop gross motor skills as they climb, run, balance, and move with purpose during outdoor play and movement activities. Wellness is woven into the rhythm of the day through experiences with temperature, toileting, hand washing, food choices, and learning how to care for their bodies. These moments help build physical awareness, support healthy habits, and foster autonomy and self-care in a responsive, nurturing environment.

  • Lower School

    In Lower School, our Physical Education curriculum lays the groundwork for lifelong fitness through movement, play, and purposeful instruction. Students engage in games and creative activities that help them develop essential physical skills while building self-confidence and a positive relationship with their bodies.
