The physical education and athletics opportunities offered at Sherman Oaks complete our philosophy of educating the whole child in mind, body, and exuberant spirit.

Through daily excercise, professional kinesthetic education, special physical events, and after school athletics, our kids learn that a healthy body and spirit are just as important as an astute mind.

P.E.
We have two P.E. programs in which every child participates:
1) Professional P.E. coaches funded completely by our Parents Association, SOPA.
2) The classroom-based psychomotor program, where teachers and parent volunteers lead the children through locomotor, coordination, and fitness skills.

Recess
Two recesses every day give the children opportunities to utilize their energy in group games and activities on the play yard.

After school sports
After school athletics are available through:
1) Super School elective classes
2) School sports teams organized through the Youth Services program

Special athletic events
Throughout the year, special events are organized for each child to participate during the school day, including fun running, jump rope, and physical fitness events.

Check out the pages listed on the left for more in-depth coverage on these programs and athletic opportunities.
