The Academy’s Physical Education program
offers an innovative and creative curriculum
including traditional sports, games and physicsal
fitness activities. Students in the early
Childhood Department through 5th Grade.
Participate in such sports/activities as basketball,
soccer, obstacle courses, roller-skating,
rope-jumping and racket sports. Students in
grades 6 through 8 participate in basketball,
soccer, volleyball, softball, flag football,
paddle tennis, wrestling, lacrosse, yoga and
gymnastics. While
the students enjoy the training aspect of
the programs, they also learn much more
than just how to play the game. Our Physical
Education Specialist has developed a unique
Torah based approach to competition and
sportsmanship. Spirituality, effort and
ethical development are emphasized through
exercise, song and expression. For example,
a song such as “be Honest In The Game,”
teaches the children the importance of giving
a “full effort” and the importance
of being “honest," when a referee
or instructor may not always see what is
going on. |
