We believe that students need to exercise their mind and their body.

“At St. Viator Elementary School, our gymnasium is spectacular, one would be hard-pressed to find a better gym anywhere in the City of Chicago,” Mr. Greg Zajac, Physical Education Teacher.

All of our students have gym class twice a week.  The main goal in all grades is to learn the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle while having fun!   In addition to gym classes twice a week, the preschoolers have at least 30 minutes a day to exercise their gross motor skills, either outside or in our activity room.
