Our goal as a Physical Education department is to provide “Knowledge and use of lifetime skills, health, fitness, nutrition, wellness, individual and team related principles and activities.”

There are four overriding concerns when approaching each facet of subject matter: SAFETY, challenging each individual’s PERSONAL BEST, CHARACTER BUILDING and having FUN.

We emphasize outdoor play, recreation, fitness and adventure. The Burroughs surrounding neighborhood is unique in that it affords students the opportunity to explore a wide variety of lifetime activities. Burroughs School acts as a base camp for many outdoor excursions that branch out in all directions.
