Physical Education is an integral part of St. John the Beloved School’s total education program. As such, it strives to develop qualities which enable students to “play a constructive role in the changing world” through the study of physical, affective, cognitive, and social-emotional development. In an atmosphere that encourages self-confidence, students are able to make decisions, work cooperatively, and engage in new experiences which will enable them to make healthy lifestyle choices. Recognizing God’s gift of life and movement, participation in physical activities contributes to the acquisition of physical, social and psychological skills.
