Physical Education and Athletics
Although Kehillah does not have a standard P.E. program, it does have many options for students to earn their P.E. credit requirement of two semesters. A Weight Training class in the school year of 2008–2009 replaced the Krav Maga class of previous years, and a Yoga class are offered as electives. Students can also participate in the athletic program to get their P.E. requirement. Currently, KJHS offers five varsity sports: boys' basketball, girls' basketball, girls' volleyball, co-ed soccer, and co-ed tennis.
Kehillah includes the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center (JCC) across the street in its campus. All students receive memberships to the JCC, and the gymnasium and pools serve as home of the Kehillah Rams volleyball, basketball and swim teams. Kehillah also has soccer, cross-country, ultimate Frisbee, golf and tennis teams.

Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or education:
“When one walks, one is brought into touch first of all with the essential relations between one’s physical powers and the character of the country; one is compelled to see it as its natives do. Then every man one meets is an individual. One is no longer regarded by the whole population as an unapproachable and uninteresting animal to be cheated and robbed.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“The experience of the race shows that we get our most important education not through books but through our work. We are developed by our daily task, or else demoralized by it, as by nothing else.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
