| Physical Education Healthy Bodies Equal Healthy Minds Mountain Peak is proud to be the only school in the State of Colorado, public or private, that offers daily physical education classes. Research by the American Heart Association shows that only 6% of elementary schools in the United States offer daily physical education classes. This is deemed to contribute to the fact that today, 15.8% of children ages 6-11 are considered overweight. Further research indicates that physical education greatly contributes to enhancing learning readiness and improving academic performance in students. At Mountain Peak we strive for excellence in academics enhanced by a strong commitment to physical education. Daily physical education classes encourage children to adopt lifelong healthy lifestyle practices as well as helping them learn in the classroom.
