Physical Education

The physical education and health program at Annunciation Orthodox School is a unique fitness based program. The purpose of the PE program at AOS is to provide appropriate instruction for the acquisition of behaviors that contribute to a healthy lifestyle. We achieve this through a program that reflects the needs of each student throughout the school years. The AOS program delivers the following benefits for all students:

• desirable social behaviors and increased levels of self image,
• establishment of the positive behaviors that promote higher levels of health,
• development of appropriate levels of personal fitness and an understanding of the importance of physical activity for maintaining a viable and productive life,
• better health-educated individuals, equipped to handle personal and social, environmental and safety decisions, and
• the development of appropriate skills and behaviors that will enable students to be proficient in at least three lifetime activities.

The AOS physical education philosophy is centered on three basic assumptions that exercise and fitness are: for a lifetime, for fun and pleasure, and for all people.
