Welcome to the Home School Physical Education Program at the Independent Health YMCA. This program will provide the physical education portion of a home school curriculum through gym and swim time necessary to help meet the New York State Physical Education requirements. We realize how important the program is to you and your child(ren) and we strive to run a safe, quality, and educational program. Our focus will be to provide the tools and instruction designed to promote lifetime fitness in a positive and fun environment with structured sport skill training and group swim lessons. Each class will focus on a segment of the YMCA's core values of honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility.
