Physical Education
The goal of The Parke House Academy physical education program is to instill in students a love for physical activity and an understanding of the importance of developing life-long physical fitness skills. Physical education classes are held by grade level, and non-competitive games, as well as competitive sports and sportsmanship are a part of the P.E. curriculum. Physical education is an integral part of the program at PHA. It provides learning experiences that contribute to the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective development of each student.
Physical Education also gives students knowledge and skills to make the most of their physical and mental abilities. It gives them the building blocks necessary for good health. Further, students learn to assess their own physical fitness and maintain healthy levels of physical activity. They learn new skills and improve performance while gaining the self discipline to take part in individual and group activities. Students who participate in physical education activities on a regular basis learn the benefits of that participation and value its contribution to a healthy lifestyle.
