Physical Education 

The goal of the physical education department is for students to develop habits that assure them productive exercise that leads to maximal physical health and lifelong fitness. Each year, students may elect physical education, jazz and hip hop dance (taught through a residency with the Alvin Ailey Company), or yoga.

Students who elect to play team sports may be exempted from the physical education class during the seasons that they are playing.  Physical Education classes consist of strength-training and conditioning, eight team sports, four individual sports, and indoor games. Students are expected to develop proficiency in the fundamentals of the sports and games, learn the strategies that apply to each, know the safety concepts associated with each, and develop an appreciation for cooperation and a sense of fair play.
