At Brevard Academy, we offer daily PE for kindergarten through 6th grade and an advanced PE class for 7th and 8th graders.
Our PE classes focus on implementing the SHAPE America PE Standards. These standards aim to help students develop the skills and knowledge necessary for a lifetime of physical activity and health.
Standard 1— Skills: Students demonstrate competency in various motor skills and movement patterns.
Standard 2— Knowledge: Students understand movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they relate to learning and performing physical activities.
Standard 3— Activity: Students participate regularly in physical activity.
Standard 4— Emotional Wellness: Students achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness.
Standard 5—Responsible Behavior: Students exhibit responsible personal and social behavior and respect themselves and others in physical activity settings.
Additionally, at Brevard Academy, we incorporate the Components of Physical Fitness in PE. These components are important for overall fitness and can help improve performance in various sports and physical activities.

Brevard Academy Athletic Team Philosophy
Our athletic program is founded on a philosophy emphasizing strong core values, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Being part of a team is a privilege that carries responsibilities, such as attending practices, putting in hard work, being a good teammate, and showing a high level of effort during games. Participation in athletics requires sportsmanship and adherence to our school’s core values of Achievement, Innovation, Respect, Responsibility, and Relevance. In charter schools, 5th - 8th students are eligible to participate in school wide athletics.
Each student wanting to participate in a sport at Brevard Academy must have a Current Sports Physical and read and complete the 2024-2025 Athletics Handbook. Please turn it in to Coach Castro before tryouts for the 2024-2025 seasons.
