KLA Academy is focused on children’s physical improvement and also on their mental well being.

With stimulating Physical Education classes to a host of other activities — from team sports and leagues to wellness and fitness classes— KLA Academy helps children engage body and mind.

Our exciting Physical Education classes are designed to develop motor skills, knowledge, and habits for physical activity and fitness. Frequent P.E. classes can provide students with the ability and confidence to be physically active for a lifetime. Looking at the child as a whole ensures their long-term wellness: strong body, strong mind.

I love playing games in P.E., especially freeze tag with the blue and red noodles. I'm good at catching a lot of people!

Let's Move!

Our Physical Education class for preschoolers aims to promote safety and enjoyment by learning about body awareness, body control, movement, coordination, and athletic skills.

We practice and emphasize the importance of sharing, trial-and-error, personal space through varied exercises. During class, students are encouraged to have fun while learning basic rules and social skills required to participate in a group setting.

Our goal is for our students to become independent, mindful, and skillful in a wide variety of activities.

Elementary

Healthy habits start here

Students from Kindergarten through 5th Grade partake in Physical Education daily – with Martial Arts class once a week taught by Sansei Dabisson.

Our P.E. program for Elementary students aims to develop and consolidate conditioning capabilities and space orientation in age-appropriate ways, as well as build strength, flexibility, and endurance. We promote the importance of personal and group safety during physical activities, and discuss the benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle. Children use their imagination to explore athletic abilities while practicing problem-solving skills. Students enjoy designing new recreational activities, sports, and games with their classmates and coaches.

Elementary children are also encouraged to participate in our Athletics Program, including team sports such as soccer and basketball.
