Physical Education
Physical Education (PE) is an important part of a comprehensive education program and contributes to the overall well being of students.
Horizons' Physical Education program builds physical fitness, motor skills, and self-confidence, while teaching goal-setting, leadership, and cooperation along the way. It's also a space for students to relieve stress and strengthen friendships with their peers.
We're committed to keeping PE positive, safe, and respectful for everyone, with activities designed to include every student and meet them at their own skill level.
Our PE instruction focuses on three core learning domains:
- Psychomotor — motor skill performance and movement competence
- Cognitive — knowledge, movement understanding, and physical and personal wellness
- Affective — social and emotional wellness, and risk management
Our goal is simple: help students build a lifelong love of being active. Teachers offer content that's physically and socially challenging, in a way that motivates students to stay engaged, active, and healthy. At the heart of it, our job is to equip students with the skills and confidence they'll carry with them as lifelong learners and movers.
