Grades K-4 (Lower School)
Physical education is taught five days a week by our P.E. coaches.
In the K-2 physical education program, we focus on providing a safe environment in which all students can learn the values of kindness, mutual respect, self-reliance, perseverance, honesty, cooperation, and sportsmanship. Creative health-related fitness games teach the importance of living a healthy active lifestyle, and promote the physical, social, and emotional well-being of each student.
In our 3rd and 4th grade physical education program, students learn how a sport or game is played by participating in a large variety of lead-up games that are skill-focused to prepare them for actual game play in a sport. The students cooperate, compete, succeed, lead, and work on sportsmanship in an environment that is geared for success.
Grades 5–8 (Lower/Middle School)
Although Buckley Middle School officially starts in sixth grade, students begin competitive athletics in fifth grade. For grades 5–8, the athletics program strives to meet the needs of athletes at all skill levels. Our emphasis on fitness and wellness creates a competitive environment for cooperation, positive self-esteem, and sportsmanship skills. Team participation promotes lifelong experimentation, play and curiosity. All our student-athletes are trained and prepare for the next level of athletics.
Practices are conducted during class time, while games take place after school hours in the San Fernando Valley Private School (SFVPSL) or Delphic Leagues.
Grades 9-12 (Upper School)
我们高中部的学生面临的挑战是将他们的体育教育提高到一个更高的水平。我们邀请学生参加任何校内运动队的选拔赛，或继续上体育课。高中部为选择不参加运动队的学生开设了弹性体育课。弹性体育课包括个人健身训练和集体运动课。我们鼓励所有高中部学生找到适合自己的活动，无论是在运动队中表现出色，还是继续参加终身健身计划。
