Physical Education Overview
The Upper School Physical Education program builds a framework for a lifetime of activity and healthy living by providing regular opportunities for students to participate in a wide variety of physical activities and skill development experiences.
Students work on pushing out of their comfort zone and challenging themselves to confidently meet new challenges as well as social and cognitive development, including a scope and sequence of activities to challenge students of all abilities and skill levels.
Many students take skills they build in class to Burke's robust athletics program with developmental, JV, and Varsity teams.
