Gym class is offered once a week for all students attending SaintAndrewSchool. From pre-school through eighth grade we focus on physical development utilizing teamwork and sportsmanship.
In the upper grades, 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th, most of our time is spent competing in team activities such as lacrosse, basketball, hockey, volleyball, and soccer. The students also participate in different types of relays as well as Frisbee golf and a very popular “island game,” the ultimate teamwork activity.
The lower school children, Pre-K through 4th grade, also work on team concepts but spend considerable time concentrating on the basic fundamentals of physical fitness. These concepts include throwing, catching, rolling, jumping, tagging, running, stretching, kicking, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness.
