Wellness Is Essential to Student Success

March 2, 2017

A student’s life should be more than worrying about getting a good grade in class or devoting hours to a subject only to forget everything they learned after the big test. That's why Fusion Academy in Greenwich + Fairfield has changed the way students think about education by implementing a wellness program that enhances the academic experience and provides students a healthy balance throughout the day.

The wellness program consists of 20 sessions which include Art Expression, Music Expression, Physical Wellness and Healthy Habits. The programs are individualized for every student so they can strengthen their social skills and express themselves all while combatting stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. These programs break down the barrier between traditional school and life outside the classroom. Students have the opportunity to feel more engaged during class and have the freedom to participate in activities that make them happy.


For example, Art Expression allows students to create a visual representation of something important to them, which can aid in reducing stress and challenging intellectual creativity. If art doesn’t influence a student’s creative juices though, music is another outlet made available. Fusion Academy has a professional recording studio so kids can experience the calming benefit of creating an original track using instruments, voice and electronic applications.
Staying healthy is the most important aspect of the daily lives of students, and Fusion takes it seriously. That's why they also cater to physical wellness and have implemented various options for students to maintain their physical health, such as yoga and meditation to help with strength, flexibility and balance.


These programs encourage students to think creatively and maintain healthy lifestyles. Learn more about the wellness program at www.FusionAcademy.com
