Sports & Physical Wellbeing
Strengthening the Body, Shaping the Soul
At Modern International School Rome, we believe that a healthy body is essential to a healthy mind and heart. Physical education is not just an extracurricular component of our school life—it is a vital pillar in the holistic development of our students.
Grounded in the Prophetic tradition of promoting physical strength, balance, and discipline, our sports and physical wellbeing programme empowers students to develop strength, coordination, sportsmanship, and confidence, while nurturing values such as teamwork, perseverance, and humility.
A Broad and Inclusive Sports Programme
From Kindergarten through Grade 10, students actively participate in a range of age-appropriate physical activities that promote skills, strategic thinking, and a love of movement. Our sports curriculum includes:
- Football (soccer)
- Athletics and track events
- Gymnastics and yoga-inspired stretching
- Relay and team-building games
- Separate physical education sessions for boys and girls (from an appropriate age)
- A values-based approach to competition and behavior
- Yoga-themed fitness challenges
Whether indoors or outdoors, our Physical Education sessions are structured to be engaging, inclusive, and respectful of all students’ backgrounds and comfort levels.
Wellbeing Beyond the Game
True physical education extends beyond the playing field. At MIS Rome, we promote holistic wellbeing through:
- Lessons on nutrition, healthy habits, and sleep
- Mental health awareness and stress management techniques
- Encouraging a balanced lifestyle in alignment with religious teachings
- Opportunities for leadership through roles such as class captains and event organizers
These efforts are embedded into daily school life to ensure our students not only play well—but live well.
Annual Sports Days & Inter-School Events
We celebrate physical achievement through exciting school-wide events such as:
- Annual Sports Day
- Inter-school matches and tournaments
- Team-building retreats and outdoor adventure days
At MIS Rome, sports are more than just games. They are opportunities to build discipline, discover passion, and embody the balance between body, mind, and faith. Our students learn that true strength lies not only in how fast you run or how high you jump—but in the character you show in every step.
