FAQ
Why Do You Have PE Every Day?

We want to develop the whole child – a well-rounded individual that will positively contribute to their world. We use a system called the “5 Fingers of Respect” which is based on the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Using this method to reinforce positive behavior instead of stressing negative actions, builds self-confidence and dignity.
