Welcome to Physical Education

Physical Education at Meridian World School

 

Physical education provides the foundation for students to develop essential motor skills, positive behaviors, and the knowledge needed for an active and healthy lifestyle. Our classes create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where students enjoy engaging games and sports while learning teamwork, conflict resolution, and how to encourage and uplift others.

 

At Meridian, the physical education department is committed to delivering an IB curriculum that prioritizes the well-being of every student. Our program connects to current IB planners and reinforces the IB learner profiles, ensuring a cohesive and meaningful learning experience. We value not only physical growth but also the psychological and social development that comes from active participation.

 

Sports have had a tremendous impact on my own life, teaching me the importance of teamwork, perseverance, sportsmanship, adaptability, discipline, goal-setting, and—above all—character. As Coach Gregg Popovich once said, “The measure of who we are is how we react when things don’t go our way.” I hope students take away these same lessons, becoming well-rounded leaders who demonstrate character and perseverance.

 

It is always an honor when a Meridian Lion tells me that PE is their favorite part of the day. Their energy and enthusiasm make teaching so rewarding, and I’m excited to continue supporting their growth both academically and athletically.

 

Go Lions!
