Physical Education/Sports
At STEP, physical education is defined as programs associated with physical fitness, motor movement, skill development, neuromuscular coordination, social interaction and knowledge to develop meaningful movement patterns. We believe our students are the future citizens of all societies; each child is a unique Individual, Who needs a caring and stimulating environment, for emotional, intellectual, social and physical growth. Therefore, our physical culture and sports programs are designed to help a student explore his/her optimum athletic potential and adopt long lasting fitness and wellness routines.
