 * **Philosophy ** |||| The Physical Education Department of Riffa Views International School is devoted to instilling in students a desire for total physical fitness and the knowledge of how to maintain it. All students will develop movement abilities ranging from functional life skills to those needed for successful participation in leisure activities of their choice. The program will instill a sense of self-worth and dignity, social competencies, and safety awareness. Students will leave RVIS with an appreciation and understanding of specific sports and movements, including their origins, cultural impact and aesthetic values. The role of the teacher is one of coach and mentor, who promotes life-long love of activity and community building through sports and physical activity. ||
