Physical Education

Fitness is at the heart of our Physical Education program.  Children build endurance while developing practices that will serve them into their adult years.

Students attend Physical Education class at the Charlestown Navy Yard YMCA at Constitution Wharf, as well as enjoy outdoor experiences afforded by the nearby Esplanade, the Boston Common, and the Frog Pond.

Learning through the play of noncompetitive games children are able to freely develop a mastery of skills and, more importantly, develop an appreciation for the peer support that comes from being part of a team. Units of study include gymnastics, ball sports, floor hockey, and tennis for older students. 

Each year students look forward to Field Day. Children engage in team activities that involve mixed age groups in an array of games and sports.

"Our kids have loved their P.E. experience and the wealth of opportunities for physical play — on the Common, in the gym, the climbing wall, even along the Esplanade."
