Physical Education
Nurturing Mind, Body, & Soul.
Healthy Living Curriculum
Every student is a unique individual with a combination of physical, mental, social, and spiritual aspects. Our Healthy Living curriculum allows every Merion girl to reach her fullest potential in each of these areas. Through a planned program of health education instruction, our students will gain an intelligent understanding of their bodies and minds in order to achieve the highest degree of physical and mental well being. Not only are the teaching values and concepts important, but proper application of both is the intended outcome for the students.
Physical Education
Physical Education is an integral part of the education of students, enforcing sportsmanship and the practice of ethical principles. It instills the use of Christian values and self-discipline. Physical Education places emphasis on social, mental, emotional, and recreational well being. Classes provide a wide variety of activities aimed at developing body strength, coordination, and endurance according to individual needs. Physical education teaches students to become a total person through participation in fitness and physical activities on a daily basis.
