2. Middle School Philosophy Physical education learning experiences compliment and support the academic maturation process of a child. Positive self-image, the ability to interact appropriately, personal responsibility, team building and sportsmanship are natural components of the performance and skill-based curriculum. The ability to compare, contrast and analyze as well as to plan, experiment and create are all utilized in the gymnasiums and fields as well as in the academic classrooms.Physical education learning experiences compliment and support the academic maturation process of a child.
