Healthy bodies

A professional athlete/trainer teaches students the basics of boxing, kickboxing, wrestling or functional patterns.

Students learn basic footwork, defensive and offensive moves to improve fundamental movement skills, agility, balance and coordination. We aim to increase physical literacy and confidence, building blocks for an active lifestyle.

Our fitness curriculum is based on age-appropriate stages of the Long-Term Development Framework, the Canadian Movement Guidelines and Participaction recommendations.

Healthy minds

A professional educator uses experiential learning activities from the BTS social-emotional learning curriculum to teach tools and strategies like goal-setting, managing stress and decision-making.

Activities include brainteasers, dynamic discussions, art therapy and skill practice to encourage resilience and a growth mindset. Research shows that resiliency can contribute to mental well-being and academic achievement.

Our resilience-building curriculum aligns with provincial school health and physical education curriculum for secondary schools and is based on social-emotional learning frameworks and the skills we learned as athletes and coaches.

“Resilience was significantly correlated with numerous indicators of physical literacy, including movement capacity, confidence, and competence, environmental engagement, and overall perceptions of physical literacy.”

“Resilience, character strengths and empathy provide students with the resources they need to thrive, while allowing them to cope with stress and adverse conditions."
