Healthy bodies

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

Girls 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 managing stress, positive motivation and goal-setting.

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.

“There is much evidence to support physically literate girls do twice as much activity than those who are not. They are happier and more trusting of other children, and higher levels of resilience is evident in children who demonstrate competency in these aspects of physical literacy."

“Girls who lack resilience often have low self-esteem, are emotionally vulnerable and easily influenced by others, accept mistreatment, and find it difficult to cope with problems or to see that solutions are within their grasp.”
