THE POWER OF A HEALTHY PHYSICAL FOUNDATION

Teaching healthy lifestyles, total wellbeing, and lifetime physical fitness.

Students Thrive Physically at OVCA.

It's all about health...

As fun as the team experience can be, and as much as a child can learn from being part of a strong team environment, we realize that learning to live a healthy lifestyle is not all about sports.  Learning to live a healthy lifestyle is a holistic experience ranging from the cognitive to the physical.  

Learning a healthy lifestyle is a part of every Patriot's academic experience.  This is accomplished through our academic program from preschool through high school.  However, learning about a healthy lifestyle is only part of the equation.  

Practicing a healthy lifestyle will form lifelong habits for our students.  We practice these habits through various projects and assignments within our academic program, as well as through our school wide physical education program and our 5th-12th grade athletic program. 

Our Athletic Program

Athletics play an important role at OVCA.  Our organized athletic programs are not just for competition, but they also serve as a tool for education in many ways: from teaching principles of healthy living, to learning how to be a positive participant in a team environment, to building character and personal integrity in each player.  Our coaches are not only committed to teaching students winning strategies on the field, but they are also committed to teaching winning strategies in life.  We believe that athletics can be a tool for our staff to expand the learning process beyond the walls of the classroom, impacting students in relevant and memorable ways.

A healthy lifestyle is connected to
our spiritual health

Physically, we want our students to understand that their bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and that they are not their own. Therefore, they are to honor God with their bodies through chaste conduct. 

Also, we want to foster a lifestyle that leads to longevity and improved quality of life—a lifestyle that includes healthy eating, good rest habits, regular exercise, good hygiene, and avoidance of harmful substances.

1 corinthians 6:19-20

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

1 Corinthians 10:31

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
