Physical Education
At Landmark, we know that quality health and physical education motivates students to foster important habits and to take an active role in getting or staying in shape, and improving their well being. We offer a range of electives for students of all skill levels to be active, cultivate new interests, expand competencies, get healthy, and have some fun.
PE (Physical Education)
Students will learn the skills and rules needed to play a variety of team and individual sports. These sports include things like archery, badminton, basketball, disc golf, floor hockey, flag football, softball, tennis, soccer, and volleyball. Students will also learn a variety of individual activities with the hope that they lead to a lifelong interest in their health and well-being. These include weight training and various aerobic activities.

Outdoor Leadership
The Outdoor Leadership class addresses communication, judgment, and technical skills by practicing leadership techniques and team-building scenarios related to a wilderness environment. Students discuss what makes an effective leader and use those skills while successfully and safely performing activities such as hiking, backpacking, canoeing, and camping.
Yoga
Through a combination of movement-based classes and non-movement-based activities, students in Yoga will explore their version of overall wellness. Students will work to build both mental and physical strength and flexibility while also practicing grounding mindfulness activities such as breathwork, meditation, and self-observation. Students will be exposed to a variety of styles of yoga, ranging from vigorous vinyasa to gentle flow to restorative yin yoga. Off the mat, students will build awareness about their individual habits of mind, so that they can work to make intentional decisions, rather than impulsive reactions, while fostering a more positive sense of Self.
