Physical Education

Physical education is a core part of the GATE program and an essential part of each student’s day. Taught by Coach Roland Johnson, our PE program integrates four primary components:  

1. Basic fitness and skills to promote balance, coordination, strength, agillity, and cardiovascular health
2. Dance—an individual discipline incorporating all the basic fitness components
3. Outdoor hiking and environmental stewardship
4. A place to practice and learn interpersonal skills such as self-regulation, conflict management, and cooperative play
