May it be stimulating, enjoyable and rewarding. The Faculty of Physical Education and Health offers three degree programs (B.P.H.E., M.Sc., and Ph.D.) for those who wish to pursue the study of physical activity and health. We offer a strong interdisciplinary curriculum. We explore all the major knowledge bases for understanding physical activity and health, from the behavioural and biophysical sciences to the social sciences and humanities. We encourage all students to engage in research. In the undergraduate degree program, we integrate the academic course work with physical learning and doing (running, swimming, dancing, etc.) to achieve education for the whole person. We encourage all students to engage in formal internships in education and health, so that they can learn to apply their knowledge and skills in professional and community settings, and contribute their ideas and energies to the revitalization of opportunities for healthy physical activity in Canada and around the world. We face a worldwide crisis in physical inactivity, with serious consequences for personal and community health and well- being. We have designed the B.P.H.E. degree program so that students and graduates can be part of the solution. The curriculum has been accredited in both Kinesiology and Teacher Preparation by the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators. We are very proud of our programs and facilities. All courses are taught by accomplished scholars and scientists, and students have access to the unrivaled resources of the entire University of Toronto. We draw upon more than a century of U of T leadership and achievement in physical education, health, athletics and recreation. We are confident that our curriculum will help you prepare for careers in these fields.

  • Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT & DONOR TRIBUTE 2015-16 1 A CARING KCS COMMUNITY Paul Vessey, KCS Chair of the Board of Governors’ 2015-2016 Closing Speech: I fell in love with this school eight long years ago when my daughter Brigid suggested to me one morning during her first week at KCS that Miss Murphy thought I was old enough to let Brigid walk by herself down the hall to her grade one class, and my daughter Brigid apparently agreed. I discovered immediately KCS was pretty good at educating me as a parent in addition to educating my daughter. The love affair only grew over the years as I discovered an educational environment where everyone cares. Parents, teachers, administrative staff, volunteers, and of greatest importance, our students. The entire place thrives on the singular concept of continuous improvement. Every year as I drive home from these closing ceremonies I could honestly say the school was a better place than the previous year. I always had the confidence, as I do now, that next year will be even better. How does KCS consistently improve upon itself? It starts with leadership. Derek Logan and his senior administrative team are never satisfied with the status quo. Over the years I observed this team put on a clinic on how to be effective leaders. There is one leadership quality in particular I observed consistently over the years that always impressed me. They rarely made decisions by choosing the easy path, which invariably involved little personal or organizational risk. When appropriate they took the tougher route, sometimes controversial but always seemed to work out in the longer term to make a big difference in the quality of our school.
