Health and Physical Education

Through health education DoDEA students gain an understanding and appreciation of healthful lifestyles that promote lifelong wellness, and engage in learning activities designed to enable them to take responsibility for their well being and the well being of others.

Physical Education is an essential and integral part of the total education program and makes significant contributions toward the achievement of desirable education and health outcomes through the medium of physical activity. Physical education addresses a student's fundamental need for regular physical activity to remain healthy and promotes many of the attitudes and behaviors that reduce health risks, including development of an understanding of the need for appropriate nutrition and physical activity.
