Welcome to Physical Education

Physical education provides a foundation for students to develop motor skills, behaviors, and knowledge for an active lifestyle. Students can look forward to a fun and safe environment where they learn engaging games and sports. We practice how to work together to achieve a common goal, resolve minor conflicts, and encourage others. 

At Meridian School, our physical education department is devoted to providing an IB curriculum focused on the well-being of all students. Our program makes connections to current IB planners and reinforces the IB learner profiles to create a cohesive learning experience. The psychological and social growth of our learners are equally important as the physical games and activities we play. 

Sports have made a tremendous impact on my life. They have taught me the importance of teamwork, perseverance, sportsmanship, adaptability, strategy, discipline, goal-setting, and most of all, character. Coach Gregg Popovich once said, “The measure of who we are is how we react when things don’t go our way.” I hope that students can learn similar skills and traits, so they may become strong leaders with high character.

I am always honored when a Meridian Lion tells me that PE is their favorite part of the day. Their enthusiasm and dedication is what makes my job so much fun! I’m eager to learn more about your students while they continue their academic and athletic journey. Click the link below to view some PE highlights from our fall semester of 2022.

Go Lions!
