Physical Education - K to Grade 8

Clairbourn's Physical Education and Athletics program inspires students to develop lifelong habits of health, fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Led by full-time physical education specialists, the program provides students with opportunities to build physical skills, develop confidence, and experience the value of perseverance, leadership, and collaboration.

Throughout Kindergarten through grade 8, students participate in a developmentally appropriate curriculum that emphasizes fundamental movement skills, coordination, physical fitness, and skill development in both individual and team sports. As students grow, they refine their athletic abilities while learning the importance of goal setting, respect, responsibility, and positive competition.

Physical Education

Physical education classes are designed to promote overall wellness while helping students develop strength, endurance, agility, coordination, and sports-specific skills. Through a variety of activities and games, students learn the value of teamwork, communication, and good sportsmanship in an encouraging and supportive environment.
During the warmer months, students of all grade levels participate in swimming instruction in Clairbourn's on-campus pool, building water confidence and swimming skills as part of the regular physical education curriculum.

Fifth-grade students with significant prior experience may also participate in swimming, tennis, and golf.

Student-athletes receive regular coaching and daily practices designed to develop individual skills, strengthen teamwork, and prepare for league competition.

Celebrating Student Achievement

At the conclusion of each athletic season, coaches recognize student-athletes during Morning Assembly with awards celebrating excellence, growth, and character. Honors include Most Valuable Player (MVP), Most Improved, and the Coach's Award, recognizing students who demonstrate exceptional commitment, leadership, teamwork, and contributions to their team.

Whether students are learning a new skill in physical education or competing on an interscholastic team, Clairbourn's Physical Education and Athletics program encourages every student to challenge themselves, support their teammates, and develop the confidence and habits that promote lifelong health and wellness.
I like that PE isn’t just about being good at sports. It’s about trying your best, working with your team, and getting better. — Sixth Grader
