At New School Lyon, our commitment to education goes beyond classroom learning. We firmly believe that physical health and well-being play an essential role in the development of our students. That's why we promote sport and physical activity as an integral part of our educational programme.
A holistic approach to education
Education is not just about maths and literature. It also encompasses the mental and physical health of students. At New School Lyon, we take a holistic approach to education, recognising that physical wellbeing goes hand in hand with mental wellbeing. Sport and physical activity are powerful ways of promoting a healthy and balanced life.
A variety of sporting activities
We believe in giving our students choices when it comes to sporting activities. That's why we offer a variety of options to suit each child's interests and talents. Our pupils have the opportunity to discover and develop their skills in a variety of sports.
The importance of cooperation
Sport also provides opportunities for students to learn about cooperation, teamwork and respect for rules. These social skills are essential in everyday life, and we reinforce them through sporting activities that encourage sharing, communication and problem-solving.
A welcome break
Physical activities also play an important role in recharging the mind. Active breaks between lessons allow students to stretch their legs, refresh and revitalise for the next lesson. This approach helps to maintain their energy levels and concentration throughout the day.
Education for life
At New School Lyon, we teach our students that physical activity is not limited to school, but is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle that will accompany them throughout their lives. We encourage them to find activities they enjoy and to stay active outside school, thus helping to prevent health problems linked to a sedentary lifestyle.
A healthy future
By promoting sport and physical activity, we aim to prepare our students for a healthy future. We believe that active students are more likely to become active adults, which will have a positive impact on their long-term quality of life.
At New School Lyon, sport and health are fundamental values. We are committed to encouraging an active and balanced lifestyle for our students, preparing them for a happy, healthy and prosperous future.
