We at Town School believe physical development directly correlates with intellectual development. Physical education and athletics are important elements of the curriculum not only because a sound physical condition is necessary for emotional and academic well being, but also because it encourages each boy to explore all aspects of the human experience. Town School provides a program for every boy that supports these beliefs through competitive, educational and recreational programming. Our boys have daily opportunities to participate and challenge themselves in developmentally appropriate activities. These opportunities include daily physical education classes and recess for all students. Students in grades 6 – 8 (upper school) are strongly encouraged to participate in our Interscholastic Athletic Program. Click here to read about our lower school sports philosophy.

Physical Education
The objectives of our physical education program are many: to enhance self – esteem, develop physical fitness and proper nutritional habits, and develop athletic skills emphasizing cooperation, teamwork and sportsmanship. Our K – 4 physical education program (lower school) focuses on movement education; students explore various ways to control how they move while learning specific motor skills. In our 5-8 physical education program (upper school), boys participate in a core curriculum program designed to develop personal fitness, nutritional habits, individual skills and team concepts that are implemented during game play.
