At ANS we are privileged to have an innovative inclusion program aimed at ensuring that every single student on campus receives an education that supports our mission of academic excellence and ethical leadership development.

Recently, our school has been exploring opportunities to extend the reach of this inclusive ethos into sports and physical education and this week marked a significant milestone in this endeavor as we hosted a comprehensive training session for coaches and instructors.

The session delved into the basic principles of our inclusion program, emphasizing the understanding that every individual learns differently. Coaches were equipped with strategies to identify areas where athletes may face challenges and were trained on methods to enhance both comprehension and athletic performance.

The training session focused on key cognitive areas essential for success, including working memory, processing speed, visual/spatial and verbal comprehension. By honing in on these fundamental aspects, coaches gained insights into how they can tailor their coaching methods to cater to the diverse learning needs of their athletes.

As a school, we are immensely pleased and proud to introduce inclusion program principles into our athletic programs. By embracing these principles, we anticipate that coaches will be able to adapt and personalize their practices and classes, thereby providing an enriching and fulfilling athletic experience for all students. We eagerly anticipate witnessing the positive impact of this initiative as it unfolds, empowering every athlete to reach their full potential on and off the field.
