The Physical Education program at Cohen Hillel Academy is designed to meet the physical, social and emotional needs of every student. Starting in the lower grades (K-1), the children are exposed to many different activities with the main focus on gross motor skills and balance.

In grades 4-8, we play a variety of team sports where the students learn skills and game planning with a major focus on inclusion of all players. There are often bonus points for a team when all of the players score in the game.
