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 curriculum at Advent is remarkable. We’re constantly amazed by what our kids are absorbing and how excited they are to be learning.”
