Every child deserves a Champion
At Classroom Champions, we bring Olympic and Paralympic athletes into classrooms with a year-long curriculum to help kids build the confidence, perseverance, and skills they need to succeed in school and in life.Through interactive videos, hands-on activities and ready-to-use lesson plans, the Champion Mindset comes to life, helping kids become more confident, resilient, connected and invested in their goals and growth. And when schools add an Athlete Mentor to their classrooms, the magic multiplies. Through video updates, messages, and live-chat opportunities, world-class athletes connect with students and teachers all year long, building meaningful relationships that motivate and inspire.Through this connection, the students gain a Champion in their corner -- someone who believes in them, lifts them up, and inspires them to see new possibilities.

Evidence-based, Award-Winning Curriculum
Our evidence-based, award-winning curriculum is self-paced and includes everything from one minute videos to kickstart the day to full 30-minute lesson plans that dive into skills like managing emotions. Delivered by world-class athletes, each lesson helps students build resiliency and social emotional skills.In dual-track French and English schools, we can try to pair with a bilingual athlete (pending availability), so the whole school can benefit together from shared SEL language and supports. In Indigenous communities or schools with high Indigenous populations, classrooms are paired with Indigenous Athlete Mentors, because we know representation matters.
