Educational Vision
At Üsküdar American Academy, the Physical Education Department embraces a holistic approach that nurtures students’ physical, mental, and social development. We believe that sports are not only about physical ability but also a key contributor to character growth.
Our Physical Education classes enhance students’ physical capabilities while also building their self-confidence and social skills. By promoting equal opportunity in both individual and team sports, we empower every student to explore and reach their full potential.
Key Areas
Our goal is to strengthen each student’s personal connection with sports, encouraging a lifelong commitment to an active, healthy, and balanced lifestyle. We focus on fostering teamwork, leadership, discipline, and a sense of responsibility.
Student Journey
With our modern gymnasiums, outdoor facilities, and dedicated instructors, students experience a wide range of sports including basketball, volleyball, football, korfball, florboll, fitness, table tennis, tennis, badminton, kinball, athletics, dance and folk dances. We also support participation in national and international competitions to expand their engagement with sports beyond the classroom.
