PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Physical Education curriculum takes a whole-child approach to physical fitness. Students develop gross motor skills and coordination, targeting specific skills needed in team sports. They are exposed to a wide range of team sports, enhance skill development, a competitive environment, while building self-esteem, and instilling a life-long enjoyment of physical activity. Teamwork, appropriate sportsmanship, an understanding of the rules of the game, and the spirit of competition are integrated into each sports unit. Students are encouraged to push themselves to go beyond their individual limits and work toward achievement of their physical fitness goals. ART The Levine Academy art program is based on the National Core Arts Standards. Students attend weekly art classes, where they receive hands-on instruction in a wide range of art media and explore choices involved in presenting art to an audience. Students also learn how to identify, examine, and compare works of art. Our visual arts venue gives students an opportunity to look closely at themselves, to examine the world around them, and to understand connections between artistic expression and cultural values.
