Health and Wellness

We know that children grow and mature through multiple, influential years that are deeply impacted by their educational experience. PK-12 schools, especially public institutions, do not do a very good job equipping young learners with the tools needed to thoughtfully develop their own healthy lifestyle habits and navigate the challenges they will face. Pobal Learning’s Health and Wellness initiative would radically adjust the way children examine their personal life choices in relation to their life-long physical and mental wellness journey. The program is intended to immerse young people in a health and wellness program that fuses movement, exercise, food, drink and rest activities into a portfolio of personal understanding in order to develop better lifestyle habits which they can carry on into adulthood. This innovative learning experience would remove young people from their typical school environment and, through age-appropriate curriculum and learning outcomes, would seamlessly blend physical and health education requirements and traditional subjects (science, math, reading, etc.) with a systemic appreciation for a nutritious and balanced diet. The Health and Wellness initiative would be programed as a multi-day event occurring to replace/supplement traditional physical education classes. This dynamic offering would be rooted in collaboration, creativity and communication with a goal to build personal resiliency and mutual respect.
