Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School's physical education program provides a comprehensive approach to enhancing students' total wellness through mental, social, emotional and physical development. Our physical education instructors create a positive and cooperative learning environment that provides maximum participation for all children in a planned progression of developmentally appropriate physical activities.

The program is designed to promote a healthy attitude toward fun, fair play, success, and positive self-esteem while enhancing fitness and skills. Recognizing that each student is unique, our student-centered curriculum provides each child with the opportunity to realize personal accomplishments and enhance their self-image. Activities incorporate multi-cultural/non-sexist concepts, global education, higher order thinking skills, school-to-work initiatives, technology, and interdisciplinary connections.
