Wellness and Physical Education
Our physical education curriculum promotes a healthy lifestyle and lifelong wellness through the development of each girl’s physical health, talents, interests, self-confidence, and relationships with others.
Lower School
Lower School students participate in wellness and physical education classes five days a week. PE provides the physical activity and skill-based instruction that growing bodies need.
Middle School
5th and 6th-grade students participate in PE classes 4 days a rotation and Wellness class one day in the rotation. 6th-grade students have the opportunity to participate in team sports. 7th and 8th-grade students continue their wellness education, along with participating in team sports or a PE credit. In Wellness classes, students practice goal setting, decision making, conflict resolution, and communication skills by exploring the eight concepts of the Wellness Wheel - social, emotional, intellectual, financial, physical, environmental, and occupational health.
