Physical Education

St. John Bosco Catholic School is advised by the Diocese of Phoenix Physical Education Standards, which are designed to promote the whole person by expanding the spiritual, moral, physical, creative, and intellectual development of each student.

St. John Bosco Catholic School uses the Dynamic Physical Education curriculum and incorporates Physical Best in our lessons. The DPE program exposes children to a wide variety of activities in a process-oriented rather than product-oriented format
