Physical Education
Wayland Academy considers physical education a vital part of the curriculum. All students are encouraged to participate in physical fitness and sports programs, helping to extend the values that are emphasized in the classroom.
Sports are emphasized not only during the scheduled gym periods; the teachers and students at Wayland Academy are actively involved in group game activities during recess as well. According to the season of the year, recess games may include soccer, basketball, kickball, softball and touch football. Although students are not required to participate in recess games, they are encouraged to take part in order to gain a knowledge of the various games, improve physical coordination, and help develop the important social skills of cooperation and leadership.
