Physical Education
Physical Education at the Unquowa School is unique. Students have gym classes 5 days a week from PreK-4 through eighth grade. Each class begins with 10-15 minutes of age-appropriate warm up exercises that cover stretches and cardio with an emphasis on injury prevention and sports preparation for the skill sets that support locomotive skills, balance, coordination, and the standard sports of soccer, volleyball, basketball, paddleball, tennis, lacrosse and field hockey. The President's Fitness Challenge begins and ends the year, with students comparing and celebrating their personal best results throughout each year of fitness. Upper school students participate in sports trips and team building workshops throughout the year.

We place emphasis on nurturing the confidence of our students as they move forward to high school and life pursuits.
