"Physical education is the beginning of the lifelong learning 

process in which schools teach children how to live as active, 
healthy adults with both active bodies and active minds." ~ PE4life

A quality Physical Education program incorporates all aspects of movement skills, physical fitness and personal wellness.  This includes the five components of physical fitness:  muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardio respiratory endurance, flexibility, and body composition.  Personal and social responsibility through physical activity settings are a staple throughout our students' years here at Mission Viejo.

Mission Viejo's Physical Education program encourages every student to benefit and succeed, regardless of his/her ability or experience.  We use a skills based approach to teach locomotor, manipulative and stability skills that will set the students up for success in activities and sports. Students will work cooperatively with others, developing a sense of fair play and sportsmanship.  Active participation will, in turn, promote the students to carry on a healthy lifestyle.
