PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The Physical Education Program at McQuaid Jesuit consists of two phases. The Core Program is for students in grades 7, 8, 9 and 10 while the Elective Program is for students in grades 11 and 12. In the Core Program, students are taught basic and intermediate-level skills in a variety of seasonal team sports. The Elective Program is centered around individual sports that possess "carry over" value. Each student has the ability to select an activity from a number of different offerings in order to meet his interests.
Incorporated into the Physical Education Program is a portion of the Health curriculum. CPR is offered to students in sophomore year while students in junior year take First Aid. This is done to help fulfill the requirements mandated by New York State.
Included in the Physical Education Program is an extensive Intramural Program. Activities are conducted on a seasonal basis offering flag football, basketball, volleyball and floor hockey.
