At AJC English School, Kumbakonam, sports and physical education are essential components of a student’s all-round development. We believe that physical activity not only promotes health and fitness but also fosters discipline, teamwork, and character-building. Students are introduced to physical education from the primary level, and the programme evolves progressively through the years.
Regularly scheduled Physical Education classes throughout the academic year provide students with the opportunity to explore various forms of sport, understand the fundamentals, and identify areas of personal interest and talent. Our approach encourages every child to grow with confidence and purpose through physical activity.
