Student Wellbeing &

Character Development

This extraordinary, one of a kind course is taught in partnership with SKY Schools. SKY Schools is dedicated to providing youth with a healthy body, a healthy mind and a healthy lifestyle. We do this by offering youth practical tools and life skills to manage stress and emotions. When students learn how to manage their stress in a healthy way, they exhibit greater confidence and motivation to succeed in school and make healthy choices when faced with life’s challenges. Our comprehensive experiential learning curriculum includes three modules: Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Lifestyle.

HEALTHY BODY

The Healthy Body module encourages physical fitness and healthy food choices through:

  • Physical activity that includes exercise to stretch and strengthen the body

  • Experiential processes that encourage mindful eating

  • Interactive discussions on food and nutrition

HEALTHY MIND

The Healthy Mind module includes stress management and relaxation techniques that encourage a positive mental attitude through:

  • Targeted breathing techniques that reduce stress, anger, anxiety and depression; improve focus and concentration; and enhance learning ability

  • Relaxation exercises that encourage a calm state of mind

  • Experiential processes that revitalize human values such as responsibility, respect, kindness, belonging, honesty, enthusiasm and service

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

The Healthy Lifestyle module includes social emotional learning and life skills in conflict resolution through:

  • Teamwork exercises that teach how to manage emotions and resolve conflict

  • Interactive processes that encourage pro-social behavior, problem solving and cooperation

  • Dynamic discussions that teach goal setting and good decision-making

  • Practical knowledge that increases self-confidence and inner-strength to help students handle peer pressure and make healthy choices when faced with life’s challenges

The SKY Schools Youth Course can be offered via various models, ranging from a full-year standalone course, to push-in modules in physical education classes, to a week-long course that replaces a designated class period. Mister V is a certified facilitator of the program and has implemented the program in his own Brooklyn school. Based on a school’s needs, budget, and available time, a customized program can be crafted out.
