Physical Education
The Physical Education Department seeks to educate students about the various benefits of physical activity including health and fitness, recreation, and character development. All course work should provide students with knowledge and experiences that will allow them to value and participate in physical activity throughout life.
Physical education units are completed outside of the online classroom in an independent study format. Students will be working directly with a qualified instructor, coach or trainer of their choice to fulfill this requirement. Prior to beginning any physical activity for unit completion in this category, the parents and students must retrieve a petition document from a Student Services Representative. Once completed, the document should be returned to a Student Services Representative, who will route the petition to the appropriate contacts for approval. Parents and students will receive notice of approval for the physical activity within 10 business days of receipt.
Physical activities that qualify for unit completion must:
- Be taught by a qualified instructor, coach or trainer.
- Consist of at least 10 hours/week of training over an 8 week period (.5 units), or 5 hours/week over a 16-week period (.5 units).
A total of 2 units is required in physical education for graduation.
