St. Paul Physical Education Department
St. Paul School offers a full physical education program through grade eight. The curriculum is implemented from the Catholic Diocese of Columbus.
Our philosophy at St. Paul School is that Catholics believe that life is a gift, and one way to enhance that gift is through physical education. Physical education is an integral part of the total educational program and contributes to the wellness of the whole child- physically, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. We provide a continuous developmental program of physical activities that promotes fitness, critical thinking skills, self-confidence and social maturity. The objective of our Physical Education program is to promote the importance of being physically fit and for the students to understand the benefits of lifelong physical activities.
