Surfing in the Curriculum
A Unique Learning Opportunity
Surfing is at the heart of Kingsley’s innovative curriculum. As the first school in Europe to fully integrate surfing into education, we provide all students from Year 7 to Year 10 with the opportunity to engage with the ocean, build water confidence, and develop vital life skills. These sessions, included in school fees, ensure every student can thrive both in and out of the water.
Building Water Confidence
Empowering Students in the Ocean
Our surfing in the curriculum programme ensures that all students, regardless of prior experience, feel comfortable and confident in the water. Through guided sessions, students learn essential ocean safety, wave management, and paddling techniques that lay the foundation for a lifelong connection with the sea.
Academic Integration
Surfing Meets Learning
At Kingsley, surfing isn’t just a sport; it’s an educational tool. Sessions incorporate lessons on environmental stewardship, the science of waves, and the health benefits of ocean activity. Students gain a deeper appreciation of the natural world while achieving academic and personal growth.
Accessible to All
Making Surfing Inclusive
Whether a student is a seasoned surfer or a complete beginner, our philosophy accommodates everyone and integrates surfing in the curriculum. Our skilled coaches provide tailored guidance, ensuring that every participant builds skills and confidence at their own pace in a supportive environment.
The "Blue Mind" Effect
Transforming Well-Being
Research highlights the mental and physical benefits of being in or near the ocean. Our "Blue Mind" approach leverages these benefits, helping students reduce stress, improve focus, and foster overall well-being. This is more than education; it’s a transformative experience.
Kingsley’s Surfing in the Curriculum programme sets a new standard for ocean-based education. Ready to inspire your child’s connection to the sea? Join us at Kingsley Devon and discover the difference.
