Physical Education/CALM aims to take an integrated approach to the development of physically, socially, and emotionally responsible students. We are committed to offering an innovative learning experience that allows for personal growth in developmentally appropriate settings. This is designed to improve cooperation, participation and lifelong fitness while meeting the individual needs of today’s students as members of the larger community. Students will build skills in communication, self-confidence, and critical thinking. Developing these skills and learning how to deal with feelings effectively will provide a basis for building healthy self-management techniques and improving relationships with others.
