Every school has a daily "recess" period for exercise. Some schools offer a more formal physical education (P.E.) program in addition, led either by the regular classroom teacher or a separate P.E. teacher. In kindergarten, physical education tends to focus on learning basic skills (while having fun), such as team games, catching and throwing, kickball, and dance. Ask what the schools offer for the later grades, since it can vary from general recess, to team sports, to special courses such as karate and other martial arts. Some of the elementary schools have swimming pools, and others make agreements with local organizations to use their pools during school hours or after school.
