Within the IB PYP, Physical Education is referred to as PSPE, (Personal, Social and Physical Education).

One PE lesson a week is focused on physical education while the second lesson focuses on helping our students develop personally and socially with respect to emotions, self-concept and moral values, while learning how to interact well with his/her family, learning community, and the world at large through the interdisciplinary Units of Inquiry.

KIS believes in the IB PYP approach to Physical Education, as the PSPE in the IB Primary Years Program (PYP) is concerned with the holistic development of concepts, knowledge, attitudes and skills that contribute to an individual’s well-being. We believe that a person’s well-being is intrinsically linked to all aspects of a student’s experience at school and beyond. A person’s well-being includes physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual and social health and development, and contributes to an understanding of self, to developing and maintaining relationships with others, and to participating in an active, healthy lifestyle.
