Physical Education

Students in grades Kindergarten through grade 8 attend physical education classes twice a week.  The emphasis is on exercise, skill development, and cooperation, with frequent tie-ins to the natural environment.  The GBSD gym is available for use during winter and inclement weather.

On a daily basis, adults and children together enjoy a variety of physical activities, from hikes to hopscotch. Free play is valued during the two daily recesses.  Preschool students spend a large portion of each morning outside exploring and playing. A growing array of afterschool activities offer more chances to learn sports, yoga, or dance.
