There is no reason why PE lessons should not be designed to develop and inspire students; an opportunity for them to learn about their body and acquire healthy habits. There is no reason why PE lessons should not be students’ favourites because of their quality – as long as they are designed and implemented in the right way.

Reaching psychophysical balance with International School’s Health and PE Programme

The Health and PE Programme is a combined programme which blends physical activities and a series of complementary practical and theoretical teaching elements designed to students’ awareness about the importance of sports and its impact on psychophysical health.
The programme, which complies with the highest standards and the contemporary approach to education, is substantially richer in content than the usual concept of PE lessons. It was specially designed for International School students with the aim of developing a love of sports and recreation among students, and raising their awareness about the importance of healthy life habits and their influence on the overall quality of life.

How does this programme improve the students’ physical abilities and health?

The International School is a school in which every subject has its purpose and improves thje children’s full psychophysical development. This innovative programme enables children to acquire the elementary principles of a healthy lifestyle and the methods to achieve it, in a creative, interesting, and comprehensive manner.
What makes the Health and PE Programme unique is not only its comprehensiveness, but also the fact that it is flexible and tailored to the individual needs of children.

Therefore, through the Health and PE Programme, the International School offers students the following:

• Activities tailored to the students’ individual needs and talents
• Teachers’ feedback regarding the choice of activities
• Interdisciplinary approach linking anatomy and biology with PE for a clearer picture about the importance of regular exercise

This programme is yet another indicator of how the International School is a truly different school that offers a unique curriculum tailored to the best interest of students.
