Extensive research has been conducted within public schools investigating the direction and quality of physical education programs. However, there has been a dearth of studies investigating physical education program issues within independent schools K-12. The purpose of this study was to formulate independent school K-12 quality physical education program guidelines. Quality physical education program guidelines may assist in meeting family’s expectations for high quality education and maintain independent school K-12 high quality academic standards.
