Physical Education and Athletics at Pierce are based on the value expressed in the ancient saying “A healthy mind in a healthy body.” Our goal is our students’ harmonious and balanced mental and psychosomatic development. Specifically, Physical Education class at Pierce aims at:

• The proper development of the body and motor skills
• The cultivation of social and moral virtues, such as cooperation, team spirit, responsibility, persistence, courage and discipline
