Each person was created by God in His image. We hold the responsibility to teach students how to keep their bodies, minds and spirits healthy. The overriding goal of the PE and Health curriculum areas is to equip students with the skills and practice so that they glorify God by remaining healthy and fit.
We strive to teach self-confidence, discipline, purposeful group interaction, cooperation, and an appreciation for the skilled and fit human body as it expresses itself in purposeful motion to the glory of God. Providing opportunities to develop fundamental motor skills, team sports, physical fitness, personal-social skills, and wellness concepts in the pursuit of a healthy life styles, and taking on the development of personal skills and blending them into a concept of challenging students to strive towards their best.
The health curriculum combines the discipline areas of science, physical education and Bible as it teaches students information about their bodies and how their choices about what they eat and how they live will have an impact on their ability to live the life God has given them.
The Athletics programs of Ada Christian School enhance the goals of the Physical Education and Health curricula. Students are given many opportunities to participate in team sports, from grades K-8. Although the emphasis is on participation and enjoyment, the goals of good sportsmanship and healthy competition are also realized.
