What is an Everactive Member School?

An EAS member school follows a health promoting schools  approach (also known as comprehensive school health) to ensure clear, consistent, healthy messages are delivered in the home, school and community. Members focus on providing and promoting the benefits of physical activity, healthy eating and mental health throughout the school community. These three aspects of health are valued and integrated into daily life. Member school communities understand that the health and well being of students is a shared responsibility.

Alberta's physical education and health curricula are the cornerstones that ensure each student has an equal and equitable opportunity to experience and learn about the importance of healthy, active living through the prescribed instructional program.

Education is a shared responsibility involving students, parents, teachers, the school and the community. Additionally, EAS goes beyond behaviour and strives to provide a school environment where students have a variety of opportunities and are encouraged to be physically active and make healthy choices. EAS communities make a commitment to create a vision and a mind-set to support active living, healthy  eating and mental health.
