The
Physical Education program at Louisville Collegiate
School is designed to develop physically educated
children who participate regularly in physical activity
and are preparing to address their fitness needs both
now and in the future.
The program offers an environment for
students to develop strong character, responsibility
and an appreciation of others. Students participate
in physically challenging, mentally stimulating, and
socially sound activities.
The learning goals are to increase
and improve the child's sense of confidence for ongoing
skill development; mutual support within a group; agility
and physical coordination, and confidence in one's physical
self and in being with others.
