Physical Education
Recognizing that movement is vital to a well-rounded education, all students enjoy physical education class multiple times each week. Our classes focus on building strength, coordination, and teamwork.
Where school spirit gets its game on
GSB is proud to offer facilities for physical activity, including a fully equipped gym, a rooftop soccer field, a terrace and a preschool play area. These spaces ensure that students have the resources to stay active and develop their athletic abilities.

Creativity and Joy
Students explore a variety of movement styles and techniques, from structured choreography to freeform creative exercises. These activities promote physical health and support emotional well-being and teamwork.
