From Nursery through grade 5, the curriculum is designed and taught to make physical education fun. Later, we focus on developing students’ specific motor skills required for various sports. In Middle School, our main goal is to give students the opportunity to explore various team and individual sports. Using modern Physical Education criteria, we teach through games and strive to create a safe, comfortable environment in which all students feel at ease taking part. This enables students to learn through problem solving and encourages them to develop greater autonomy.

School of the Nations has pioneered the concept of COOPERATIVE GAMES in Brazil. This approach to sports highlights allowing participants to learn to play withrather than against one another. From a pedagogical viewpoint, students should be encouraged to participate in a manner that stresses cooperation first and foremost.

What makes our physical education program different?

• The wide variety of sports and activities offered;

• The focus on pleasure and quality of life rather than on competition alone;

• Cooperative games in which students have the opportunity to experience and practice essential values and skills that make for a better life.
