OUR PROGRAM

Physical Education

The Physical Education Department aims to provide learning experiences that will promote empathy, kindness, and physical activity throughout our students’ lifetimes.

We encourage students to achieve a balanced and healthy life through a comprehensive curriculum that focuses on both traditional and non-traditional sports and is centered on social and emotional health and well-being. Not every student intends to be an athlete, nor is that the goal of the Physical Education Department. Instead, the focus of the department is on developing life skills and inspiring students’ love for physical activity.
Physical Education classes take place in our Athletics facilities outlined above, as well as in indoor gyms at Ethical Culture and Fieldston Lower and neighboring spaces, including Central Park. In keeping with ECFS’s mission of providing a healthy, empowering education for the whole child, students in all grades meet for Physical Education multiple times a week.
Ethical Culture Fieldston School offers a world-class progressive education in Pre-K–12th Grade at two historic campuses in Manhattan and the Bronx. The core of our educational program is the study and practice of ethics, which prepares us — and compels us — to take care of our world, ourselves, and each other.
