Health and Fitness
Chess
At New Hope Academy, chess is an effective method of promoting mental health. It is important for students to have balance in their lives at school. Chess is an integral part of many students' schedules.
Health
Health classes are designed to provide each student with the background
to foster a healthy lifestyle. Current issues are introduced,
discussed, and analyzed. Independent research is encouraged when
appropriate. Student evaluation is based on completion of home
practice, class participation, quizzes and test results, and
independent study. For further information, please visit the Health
page.
Physical Education
Physical Education classes encourage participation in a non-threatening
environment. A five to one student to teacher ratio allows students to
feel more comfortable attempting skills in a small group with minimum
peer pressure. Fitness concepts and lifetime recreational activities
are emphasized, although student input helps guide activity selection.
Evaluation is based on attitude and participation. For more
information, please visit the Physical Education page.
Yoga
Yoga is offered as an alternative to traditional Physical Education. For further information, please visit the "Yoga" page.
