Granada Islamic School takes pride in creating a fun, engaging, and safe physical education experience. The focus of the elementary physical education curriculum is Teamwork and Collaboration. Student success is achievable if students come to each and every class ready to participate, communicate to everyone in a positive manner, give it their best in every attempt they make, and keep the environment safe and fun for all of their classmates.
