St. James students learn that cultivating physical health is essential to a happy and productive life. We partner with CYO ( Catholic Youth Organization) to offer energizing, engaging and effective P.E. and Nutrition curriculum. 

​

CYO Athletics physical education program provides essential skills and knowledge that all students need to maintain a physically active and healthy lifestyle. Our goal is to develop a standard based physical education program which creates an individualized learning platform for physical, cognitive and social achievement. Our integrative learning environment incorporates a variety of fun activities, including a nutrition program, that inspire dedication to successful lifelong learning and health.

​

In addition to physical activity, this program emphasizes healthy living. Cooking for Life is offered once each month. A chef leads a nutrition lesson through a cooking class. Students participate in the preparation, cooking, and finally eating what they prepared.
