Preschool & Homeschool
Push The Rock offers a dynamic, Christ-centered homeschool PE and preschool program designed to nurture both physical fitness and spiritual growth.
Push The Rock homeschool physical education (PE) program is a fun and engaging two-hour class for children ages 6–17 that combines physical activity with faith-based values. Designed specifically for homeschool families, the program includes sports instruction, group games, team time, and prayer. Our experienced athletic instructors work with children of all abilities to improve their physical strength, agility, and stamina while teaching the fundamentals of a variety of sports. Additionally, our Stronghold homeschool PE programs feature a unique foam sword-fighting component that kids love.
During team time, we present Bible lessons focused on character-building traits such as honesty, discipline, sportsmanship, and teamwork, encouraging students to apply these values in their everyday lives. The program is adaptable for different age groups and skill levels, supporting both individual growth and group collaboration in a safe and encouraging environment.
We also offer a Mini-Movers program—an energetic and age-appropriate one-hour class for 3- to 5-year-olds. Each session begins with a worship song and continues with fun games and simple sports activities designed to build motor skills and introduce young children to movement in a joyful, Christ-centered setting.
Our programs are offered across various locations in eastern Pennsylvania, with four 6-to-8-week sessions typically available each school year. Most locations also offer a guest day pass for families who want to try a class before enrolling in a full session. You can select the guest day pass option in the homeschool registration form.

TESTIMONIALS
“I would just like to thank the Coaches and this program, Push The Rock for an amazing session. As a seasoned homeschooling mom and certified teacher, I love how Push The Rock incorporates fun and physical exercise with God! How wonderful is that?! This was the first time we had participated, and I have a very socially anxious 12 yr old. Right away the Coaches made him feel comfortable! My son commented to me the first day how the Head Coach said for everyone to talk to someone they don’t know. All the children were so respectful of each other and kind. I loved how the Coaches incorporated a Bible lesson and made the time to talk to the kids about it. Very special! My son learned a whole bunch of new “gym: games and certainly got the exercise in I was looking for! If you’re looking for a relaxed, fun, homeschool-specific gym class that ties things together with a little bit of the bible, this is the program for you. I’m so glad we joined, and we’ll be back again!"

"Push The Rock has been such a wonderful gift and ministry for our family! My twin girls joined the homeschool class this past school year and LOVED it! They loved the different sports and activities, the Bible study and the friendships they made. They can’t wait to go again next school year!"
– Heather W. – Mother of participants in Quakertown Phys-Ed Class
"We love Push The Rock! As a homeschooler family, there are so many activities that compete for our time – it becomes necessary to focus on the ones that have the most “wins” to keep the schedule from getting overloaded. Win – the kids come home drained of excess energy. Win – they hear biblical truth from an authority figure in their life that isn’t their parents (we need back up!) Win – mom gets 2 hours to herself!! There are more, but those top the list. We are so thankful for this ministry and all the “wins” it provides."
– Mother of Participants
"Push The Rock has been such a blessing to our family! Our children have benefited from both the homeschool gym classes and the summer camps. We are so thankful that PTR provides a fun, safe, Christ-centered environment in which our children have been able to play sports, meet new friends, and interact with coaches who act as positive role models. "
– Mother of Participants
"We recently learned about Push the Rock from friends who were blown away by the organization’s ministry through sports, and the genuine desire of each coach to place Christ in the center of every session. As a homeschool family, we cherish opportunities that enrich our children’s lives with connection through community, while remaining grounded in God’s truth. So, by word of mouth, praises were passed on and we had to see for ourselves! After the first class, both my daughters were bubbling over with excitement! They couldn’t wait to share about everything they had learned and the new friends they had made. It was quite clear from the start that this program was unique. We love how Push the Rock intentionally blends movement, play, team building and good sportsmanship with the Scriptures. Jesus IS the Rock on which everything is built and for that we are incredibly grateful. This session has blessed my daughters in such a wonderful way! Each week their body, mind and spirit was encouraged and inspired to be strong, honest, kind and fully focused on Jesus in all that they do. Thank you so much for your Kingdom-building work! My daughters are stronger spiritually, mentally, and physically because of this experience."
"Our son has been participating in Push The Rock for about 7 years now. It has been a blessing for our family to have a Christian homeschool gym class. The coaches have helped him grow in his faith while teaching important skills during the sports/physical time at Push The Rock. We highly recommend Push The Rock for any homeschooler looking for a safe Christian environment to allow kids to participate in gym activities."
– Darlene C. – Mother of participant in Quakertown Phys-Ed Class
“Partnering with Push the Rock ministry was such a blessing and exactly what we needed to engage our high school students. The Coaching staff was great at getting everyone involved in the activities and Bible devotions, making it fun and relevant. I appreciated that the staff was professional, reliable, and always made an effort to really connect with the students.”
– Melissa B. – Christ Community Church (West Chester, PA)
“We are so appreciative and incredibly blessed by the entire staff that work with our son in the gym classes. He has a lot of struggles which mainly turns into a high degree of anxiety in social settings. We had met with a specialist that feels homeschooling is the best option for him even though we are unsure, at times. The Push The Rock Gym Class program seems to work for him so well and the fact he wants to go and seems to love it is a huge testament to all of the staff that work with him each week. Your obvious love and care for our boy, who struggles normally in social settings, makes him feel safe and comfortable. He always gets in the car after class and just goes on and on about his time and how much fun he had and what he has learned that week. We wanted to thank you all so much for blessing our boy and our family. Please know what a tremendous role you are playing in our son’s life and thank you for your consistent time and effort given to so many children every week.”
