Physical Education
Fitness is at the heart of our Physical Education program. Within the context of group games, stations, and basic exercise, students develop motor skills and build physical endurance while learning to be active, supportive team members.
The majority of our Physical Education classes take place at the Charlestown Navy Yard YMCA – Constitution Wharf, along with the Fire House gym, the Esplanade, Boston Common, and the Frog Pond.
Often learning through noncompetitive games, children experience ball sports, gymnastics, floor hockey, swimming, and tennis (in Sixth Grade.)
Each spring students look forward to Field Day. Cheered on by their families, children engage in team activities that involve mixed age groups in an array of games and sports.
“The Advent School began helping our children prepare for success at their next school from their very first day. They learned the necessary skills of reading, writing, math and test taking but they also learned to be critical thinkers, confident public speakers, creative artists and musicians, and good citizens as well!”
