Physical Education

Our students participate in a daily physical education program with a gym teacher. Emphasis is made on group sports and cooperative games and activities. Rules of the sport are learned as well as good sportsmanship.

At The Bartlett School, we believe that a healthy body helps to promote a healthy mind.
