Physical Education

At High Meadow School, Physical Education incorporates non-competitive and competitive athletic experiences that develop such abilities as strength, balance, dexterity, coordination, endurance, concentration and self-discipline. Students play team sports (volleyball, cross-country running, basketball, soccer) and New Games, learn calisthenics and yoga and practice focusing through meditation.

Students are also expected to attain certain behavioral strengths such as team-building, graceful winning and losing, leadership and persistence. These are explicitly and implicitly encouraged through discussion as well as the choice of activities.
