Physical Education

September 14, 2023

At Browne Academy, regular physical education is critical to the development of a healthy, balanced individual. Students across grade levels engage in developmentally appropriate activities to enhance fitness, body control, and skill acquisition. Our lower school curriculum includes a diverse range of sports, including soccer, volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, pickleball, diamond sports, and frisbee, ensuring that students enjoy a well-rounded physical education experience. We strive to provide a sequential curriculum that is nurturing, child-centered, and taught in a positive environment. Physical activity is vital for children's social, psychological, and emotional growth. We teach and reinforce social skills and personal responsibility through constructive feedback. Our physical education classes provide an ideal setting for students to learn appropriate social interactions, manage emotions, and cultivate essential personal responsibility skills. At all grade levels, a strong emphasis is placed on sportsmanship, teamwork, and effort. These components create a foundation that will lead to an enjoyment of regular physical activity and help to foster a healthy and positive lifestyle. Our beautiful, eleven-acre campus offers ample opportunity for students to enjoy the outdoors. Students utilize the swimming pool, soccer and archery fields, and basketball court in addition to the indoor gymnasium in our spacious Center for the Appreciation of Performing Arts (CAPA).
