Ethos International School
Physical Education
EIS physical education curriculum is designed according to a multi-point program that stimulates a whole active body. Learning of movement skills and health concepts through a wide and broad range of different sports and activities. Physical Education at Ethos is much more than just “rolling the ball or jump hoops” our program isn’t directed or focusing only on Athletes, we have customized programs for all pupils according to their abilities.
Skills learned in the PE class can be applied throughout their daily life; they learn the importance of exercising in their daily life and that everyone can exercise at his/her own pace. In our physical education classes, all pupils are engaged and active. No one is standing around waiting for his/her turn (except for few skills like gymnastics or Athletics). The pupils practise and develop physical skills in a logical and age-appropriate individual progression. We make sure to integrate concepts of nutrition and overall fitness with physical activities.
