SOPHOMORE PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The Project Adventure Course is the core of the sophomore curriculum. This course involves concepts taken
from Outward Bound Programs. Also, the program encourages critical thinking/brainstorming through our many
group activities and low elements. Through our Full Value Contracts which are developed by students and
teachers, we emphasize the importance of respecting all individuals' opinions and beliefs. The outdoor rope
course encourages skills such as taking initiative, problem-solving and group games. Sophomores also take
swimming, CPR and First Aid. Students are tested on putting on a harness correctly and how to tie several
knots. In accordance with the school wide goal of literacy and preparation for the MCAS exam, students are
required to write a reflection essay after the majority of project activities.
