| Expanding Accessibility to High-Quality Education & Professional Development |
Empowering over 300 schools in Latin America |
|
|
Thanks to the steadfast leadership of our CATCH Latin America team, we are making a meaningful impact in over 300 schools across Colombia and Ecuador through our CATCH PE Journeys program. Schools are fostering fun, inclusive environments for students’ physical activity and social-emotional learning and equipping educators with CATCH professional development. We are proud and thankful to work hand in hand with government agencies of Colombia and Ecuador, local educators, and community partners to improve whole child outcomes for students.
|
Our global impact includes schools and organizations from over 85 countries who have used CATCH programs, including across all 50 U.S. states. In addition to CATCH Latin America, we invite you to learn about our CATCH India and CATCH Kenya initiatives.

Standards Alignment
from Coast to Coast |
|
|
We were proud to announce at the beginning of this school year that CATCH Health Ed Journeys, our health education curriculum for grades K-8, includes documentation showing alignment to SHAPE America’s new national standards. Since this time, CATCH Health Ed Journeys now demonstrates alignment to the New York State Education Department Mental Health Education Framework and is an approved curriculum in the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s (DESE) Comprehensive Health and Physical Education (CHPE) Curriculum Guide (CATCH PE Journeys too!). These notable accomplishments, in addition to existing documentation for a California mandate and Texas-state specific standards, demonstrate our continued commitment to providing high-quality curriculum that meets the health and wellness needs of students.

School Community of Practice |
Professional networking, stipends, and grant funds for three Texas regions |
|
|
Last school year, we achieved remarkable success in partnership with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to convene leaders from over 10 school districts in Houston and Austin, Texas in our School Community of Practice collaborative. Due to an overwhelming response and the need for this unique approach to promote best practices in whole child wellness, we have expanded this school year to Rio Grande Valley in generous support from the Valley Baptist Legacy Foundation. We encourage you to learn more if you are a health or physical education leader in the Starr, Willacy, Cameron, or Hidalgo counties.

Our important efforts to bring whole child wellness programs to schools and community organizations across the globe would not be possible without partners in our corner!
