Physical Education is more than fitness and games—it’s formation. In a classical Christian context, PE nurtures the whole person, body, mind, and soul. This session will showcase how to integrate biblical principles with the classical trivium in your physical education classroom. A quality classical PE class can restore the unity of faith, intellect, and movement. Students will see physical activity as worship and discipline, allowing them to not just be athletes but disciples.
