Our Vision

All youth are educated in an active school to enhance learning, health, and well-being.

Our mission is to ensure the integration of evidence-based physical activity programs into every student’s PK-12 education.

To do this, we will establish the standard by which an army of champions implement active school policies, practices, and programs in U.S. schools so youth can receive the physical, social-emotional, and academic benefits of physical activity participation.

Our Core Values

  • Child-centered: Position child health and well-being at the center of active school environments
  • Leadership: Provide national leadership that builds trusting relationships
  • Change: Create demand to catalyze change
  • Empowerment: Empower individuals to serve as Active Schools Champions
  • Accountability: Compel accountability for evidence-based practice that results in positive outcomes for youth

The Bottom Line?

All kids need and deserve the physical, social-emotional, and academic benefits of physical activity participation. Active Schools and its partners are committed to making that happen.
