Switzerland Sekundarstufe I Curriculum - Physical Education and Health (7th Grade)

The curriculum for Physical Education and Health in Switzerland's Sekundarstufe I (7th grade) varies by canton, as education is primarily managed at the cantonal level. While a comprehensive, official curriculum document for the Canton of Zurich remains elusive due to technical difficulties with the Lehrplan 21 website, the following information has been compiled from various sources:

General Overview (Switzerland)

• Physical education (Bewegung und Sport) is a mandatory subject.
• The curriculum emphasizes psychophysical growth and lifelong physical activity.
• Typical activities include athletics, gymnastics, team sports, games, and coordination exercises.

Canton of Zurich (Lehrplan 21)

• "Bewegung und Sport" (Movement and Sport) is one of the six main subject areas.
• The curriculum is divided into cycles (1st - 3rd). Sekundarstufe I corresponds to the 3rd Cycle.

• Activities include team and individual games, individual fitness pursuits, racket sports, swimming, and dance.
