Through academic study and experiential learning, students develop the vital skills necessary to improve their physical literacy. Students practice effective goal setting techniques, time management, and personal responsibility strategies, and sound decision-making skills leading to academic and personal success. The Physical Education, Health Education, Dance, and Athletics programs deliver high quality, research-based instruction in a fun, collaborative, and respectful environment that empowers and educates students to progress towards their fullest health, wellness, and athletic potential in safe and inclusive classrooms.
The profession is based on the philosophy that physical education is an academic discipline, an essential portion of the General Education process. Further, the physical education curriculum is centered on the concept that movement skills, intellectual development, physical fitness, and healthful living practices are elements of life that must be taught and reinforced. Specific knowledge, skills, and practice techniques that best benefit the student do not just happen. Instruction, analysis, and evaluation by a credentialed professional is essential for implementing this philosophy.
