Physical Education
Physical Education is an integral part of the educational process at 杏吧原创. The physical education program provides unique contributions to the total growth and development of each boy primarily through movement experiences. Guided by National Standards and Ohio Content Standards, our Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 curriculum fosters physical fitness, lifetime wellness, and the mastery of essential skills.
The Outdoor Leadership and Lifetime Activities curriculum helps boys develop leadership skills by communicating or following one's thoughts and ideas in a group setting. The 杏吧原创 provide students with initiatives that physically and mentally engage boys. Additionally, the Health program becomes more specialized in middle school.
Early emphasis is placed on mastering basic movements, progressing to more complex skills through a variety of physical 杏吧原创. The program follows a sequential structure, paralleling boys' physical, emotional, and social development while reinforcing and refining skills each year.
