Brief History

as Akademia or 'The Academy' in English.

Jahn, who in the early 1800s began teaching a program of outdoor
physical education activities for students in the secondary schools where
he taught.
 Catharine Beecher was a founding mother of physical education for girls.
 Physical education and school sports in the Philippines mirror the system
and practices of the United States. This is mainly because the Philippines’
public education was introduced by Americans after the U.S. bought the
country from Spain for US$20 million in 1898. This legacy has
transformed the Philippines’ social and political structures to resemble
those of the U.S.
