Build Movement Into The School Day. And The Schoolyard.
Start with 3 to 5 elementary schools. Measure what happens. Grow what works.
Two Halves Of The Same School Day.
Kids sit for most of the day, then head out to a bare wall. We work on both sides of the door.
Inside The School
Moving & Learning
Reading, writing and math taught on their feet. Grades 1 to 8, in the classroom you already have, on the lesson you already teach.
Outside The School
Sportswalls
Bare walls and pavement painted into courts. Recess, phys ed, intramurals and skill practice, on space the school already owns.
Across The Board
The Active School Pilot
A few schools first. Real numbers at the end. Then you decide whether it deserves to grow.
We Learned This The Hard Way.
We painted our first courts and waited for kids to use them. They didn't. The walls sat quiet.
So we came back with games, and taught kids how to play them. That changed everything. Now the two things travel together: a lesson that gets kids moving inside, and a wall that gives them somewhere to move when they get out.

The Active School Pilot
Start With A Few Schools.
Small enough to manage. Big enough to learn from.
What We Run
- Moving & Learning sessions in participating classrooms.
- Teacher onboarding so staff can keep running it after we leave.
- Sportswall site assessments at each school.
- Evaluation through the whole pilot, not bolted on at the end.
- A final report written for your board.
What The Board Learns
- How many students took part.
- How much movement was actually delivered.
- How teachers used it, and what they thought.
- What it cost, per student.
- What worked and what didn't.
- What expanding it would cost.
We are not promising you higher test scores. We are saying: let's test this properly and find out whether it deserves to grow. See the printable pilot overview.
We Make The Pilot Approval-Ready.
Before anything starts, we sort out the paperwork with you. Nobody at your board should have to chase it.
Already Working In Ontario Schools.
Not a pitch deck. Walls you can go stand in front of.
We measure what we can verify, and we say plainly what we can't.
