Physical Education

At Hermosa Valley School we provide daily Physical Education classes, making this subject a priority as the mind and academic capacity of a child cannot reach optimum levels if the body does not lead through regular physical activity. This relationship between the healthy functioning of the mind and body has been proven by several international studies. It has also been clearly demonstrated that future injuries in sports and daily tasks can be avoided if a child is taught the correct techniques for running, throwing and jumping at an early age. Hence, we pride ourselves on having happy, healthy and physically fit students, which is of paramount importance.

Our Physical Education curriculum also includes instruction in proper nutrition and hygiene as well as basic anatomy and physiology to complete each child's understanding of how the body works and how we make it work for us. Hermosa Valley School has its own sports field, tennis court, several playgrounds and an obstacle course. We also have a 25-meter semi-Olympic pool, where children are taught proper swimming technique and water safety as part of the program. There are also various after school sports like swimming, soccer and surfing as well as private instruction available.
