Hello Homeschool Families!

Welcome to the 14th year of NDSU’s Let’s Move in Homeschool program. The goal of this program is to provide children with enjoyable physical education lessons within emotionally and physically safe environments. This outreach service is facilitated by NDSU’s Health and Physical Education program faculty and pre-service teachers. Under faculty supervision, pre-service teachers design developmentally appropriate lessons for homeschooled children and deliver these lessons on campus.

Registration is now closed for our Spring 2026 NDSU Let’s Move in Homeschool Physical Education and Health Education Program.

Our program fees are $15/child with a $30/family maximum.

Dr. Joe Deutsch oversees the spring physical education program. Our physical education lessons use best-practices in physical activity to help students as they develop their physical literacy through all three domains of learning (physical, cognitive, and affective). Physical education lessons are based upon the 2024 North Dakota Physical Education Standards:

  • Motor Skill Development (MSD) - The learner will utilize movement skills to engage at a participant level of proficiency in a variety of physical activities.
  • Knowledge to Move (KM) The learner will apply knowledge and strategies to movement and fitness concepts.
  • Personal and Social Skills (PSS) The learner will demonstrate responsible personal and social skills with consideration for self and others.
  • Motivated to Move (MM) The learner will pursue personal and meaningful physical activity.

Click to view the standards and their associated specific grade-level outcomes.

Classes are held on Tuesdays starting February 17th and continue through April 28th (with no class on March 10th). There are a total of 10 total sessions. Classes will run on campus at NDSU in the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse (BBFH) on Tuesdays 12:30pm - 1:15pm and 1:15pm - 2:00pm.

**Your child's class time and group will be determined after registration closes, as we need to make groups of similar ages in order to deliver safe and developmentally appropriate lessons. The program can accommodate approximately 80 children/semester.**

Families are welcome to stay in our gym (on the stage) while children are attending class.

  1. Registration is now open and will close on Friday, January 30, 2026 (or earlier if the program reaches capacity).
  2. Registration consists of two parts:
    1. Part 1 – Registration Information Form
      1. Fill out one registration form for each child
      2. Once you complete the registration form, you will be automatically transferred to Part 2 – Payment
    2. Part 2 – Payment Form
      1. You only need to submit payment once (as you will pay for all children at the same time). When filling out the Part 1 Registration Form for subsequent children, just ignore and close the payment website.
  3. Access the Registration Form HERE.

Registered families will receive class details by February 6th. Again, families should be prepared to attend either session time (or both session times if registering more than one child).
