Physical education is an integral component of total Catholic education. To lead a productive life, students must be physically fit and understand the importance of maintaining physical fitness. Students develop skills and behaviors that enable them to participate in co operative games, learn to practice socially acceptable behaviors, and respect diversity. Physical activities offer an opportunity for students to attain success and self-esteem in a positive manner. Through Physical Education a student can appreciate that sound development of the mind and body are ways of becoming a happy fulfilled child of God. 

Fine Arts

Music

Providing opportunities for children to appreciate music in local, regional, and global contexts will enhance their abilities to also recognize music’s role in their personal and spiritual lives. Students will perform, improvise, compose, and critically evaluate the elements of music. By understanding the role of music in the Catholic religion, the students will become more prepared to participate fully in Liturgy. The Fine Arts ­ Music program seeks to enkindle students’ souls with the pure creative energy in all of life and instill confidence in the use of God given talents. When we open ourselves to all that has been offered to us, we open ourselves to God.
