Physical Education
For 30 minutes each day, students in every grade level participate in Physical Education. As with every course and program offered at Academy31, our Physical Education activities are strategically coordinated to establish and maintain a community and culture in which students understand and embrace their identity in Christ, respect and encourage one another's varying gifts and abilities, and build each other up in the Lord.
Through this program, we are able to capture the physically, spiritually, and relationally beneficial and constructive aspects of athletics (rightly valuing physical fitness relative to spiritual fitness, establishing lifelong habits for proper stewardship of one's body, striving for continual growth and improvement, developing self-discipline, perseverance, and teamwork, etc.) for all students without fostering and reinforcing the negative aspects that can often be associated with competitive sports (unhealthy comparison, pride, envy, self-focus, self-glory, obsession with appearance and performance, etc.).
