Massachusetts has a requirement that students in all grades are required to take a physical education class each year. For several years, the high school has been trying to meet this requirement through the use of choice block & the granting of exemptions for participation in after-school athletics. This was an imperfect system. All of us appreciate the value of getting our students some physical exercise and exposure to a health/wellness curriculum regardless of any state mandate. In keeping with IACS values and true to our unique spirit, we are pleased to be offering an outdoor adventure physical education program for the 2015-2016 school year. This program will be in line with our core value that social and emotional development in school is as important as academic development, as well as our four social outcomes of: Self-directed Learning, Problem Solving, Effective Communication, and Community Membership. We see this program as a means to develop leadership skills in our students just as much as it will promote physical fitness. Freshmen, Juniors and Seniors will take this class in combination with their advisory class. Sophomores will have a slightly different version in that their program will also consist of a health/wellness curriculum in addition to the outdoor adventure program. We are very excited to be offering this program to our students next year. We are currently reviewing applications and conducting interviews for the new position. Below is the job description posting that was designed to help us find an ideal candidate.
