How The Walking Classroom Works

physical distancing and remote learning

Kids Get Fresh Air and Exercise While Learning!

Studies show that active kids do better. Physical activity not only helps kids stay healthy and strong, but it can also contribute to higher test scores, improved attendance, better behavior in class, enhanced leadership skills, and a lifetime of healthy habits. The Walking Classroom provides an easy way for kids to get that activity without losing instructional time.

Great for physically distanced in-class learning, remote learning at home, or hybrid learning environments.

Used as designed, the program naturally allows for physical distancing between students as they walk—both at school and at home.

So how does The Walking Classroom help accomplish this?
