At Gitanjali International School, our Sports and Physical Education program is designed to promote lifelong health and fitness, fostering the physical and mental well-being of our students from an early age. We adopt globally recognized stages of physical and health development to ensure that our students not only excel in sports but also develop a lasting commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
Foundational Movement Skills: In the early years, we focus on developing fundamental movement skills such as running, jumping, throwing, and balancing. These activities are designed to enhance motor skills, coordination, and body awareness, laying the groundwork for more complex physical activities in the future.
Skill Building & Team Sports: As students grow, they engage in structured sports and physical activities that emphasize skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship. We introduce a variety of sports, including athletics, football, basketball, and swimming, helping students discover their interests and talents.
Specialization & Lifelong Fitness: In the senior years, students have the opportunity to specialize in specific sports or physical activities, with access to advanced training and coaching. We also emphasize the importance of lifelong fitness through activities like yoga, fitness training, and health education, equipping students with the knowledge and habits to maintain a healthy lifestyle beyond school.
Our program integrates physical education with health and wellness education, teaching students about nutrition, mental health, and the importance of balance. This comprehensive approach ensures that our students develop a deep understanding of how to care for their bodies and minds, fostering a lifelong commitment to health and fitness.
By following the best practices in physical and health education from around the world, Gitanjali International School creates a foundation for students to lead active, healthy lives, both during their school years and beyond.
