The E.S.T.E.E.M. Group

Our mission to empower students through education, engagement, and motion, while instilling important social emotional learning skills to help students thrive physically, mentally, socially and emotionally throughout their lifetime, has inspired a new program, The E.S.T.E.E.M. Group. This program was created with the mission in mind and the board is hoping impacts students of all ages, today and well into the future. Our program is based in Western Pennsylvania and spans from PreK through College encompassing a diverse curriculum that meets students where they are and challenges them to grow and develop social emotional learning skills important to thrive in life.

We use music and movement with our students to:
- Motivate them to become better teammates
- Strengthen their social skills
- Feel a sense of community
- Heighten their self-esteem
- Foster leadership
- Learn how to communicate effectively
- Use proper etiquette
- Develop respect for themselves and others

Our curriculum was developed with the input of certified Yoga, Fitness and Ballroom instructors. We took the essence of these life enhancing crafts and added in social emotional curriculum.
