  • Students value the participation in physical activity to achieve a healthful lifestyle.
Elementary School PE classes focus on the development of motor skills and movement patterns through units on loco-motor, balance, dribbling, throwing, volleying, cooperative games and aquatics. These units also emphasize responsible personal and social behavior through deliberate practice of these tasks with their peers. Finally, students learn about health-enhancing levels of fitness and physical activity.
 
Middle School PE classes reinforce the motor skills and movement patterns learned in elementary school. They also focus on the application of concepts, strategies, and tactics related to movement and performance. Students learn game strategies related to communication, targeting, transition, creating space, and reducing space. These skills are practiced in units on volleyball, basketball, soccer, and gymnastics. Game applications give students the opportunity to refine the critical elements of movement and performance in a physical activity environment.

High School PE classes focus on helping students recognize the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social interaction. KAA offers sport participation opportunities in soccer, volleyball, basketball, swimming, and track. Students may also choose to participate in fitness activities such as: weight lifting, conditioning, track walk, dance, yoga, swimming, and more.
