Physical & Health Education + Athletics

Teaming Up for Healthy Disciplines and Skills Development.

Helping Students Develop GRIT.

At The Rock School, we believe in nurturing every aspect of our students’ development through a comprehensive Physical and Health Education (PHE) program that intertwines the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of health. Our program is designed not only to build strong bodies but also to cultivate GRIT (Growth, Resiliency, Integrity, and Tenacity).

Core Priorities of Physical & Health Education

Knowledge and Understanding

Students gain a deep understanding of how their bodies work and how their choices impact their health. Through interactive learning about nutrition, movement, sleep, hydration, and personal habits, our students are empowered to make informed decisions that enhance their well-being.

Healthy Disciplines

Our curriculum emphasizes the practice of healthy behaviors that extend beyond physical fitness to include mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Regular opportunities for reflection help students appreciate the interconnectedness of their health dimensions and encourage a balanced lifestyle.

Skill Development and Goal Setting

Every student, regardless of their initial skill level, is encouraged to set realistic goals and strive towards them. Our program covers a diverse range of physical activities including athletics, dance, weightlifting, and more. We prioritize practice and progress, fostering a culture where growth is celebrated and setbacks are seen as new opportunities.

Community and Teamwork

The Rock School PHE classes are vibrant learning communities where students and teachers together foster an environment of mutual respect and encouragement. Emphasizing sportsmanship, competitive spirit, and communication, our program teaches students to value both individual achievement and collective effort.
