Upower is now at 6 Interagency Academy campuses. Our newest addition is Opportunity Skyway, an airport-based education program located at Seattle’s Boeing Field that combines academic and vocational learning with career exploration.
Upower adds the fitness and health & wellness component. Our workouts take place in an old airport hangar. The teens built the wooden boxes needed for our box jump/step up exercises in shop class!
CHOICE Academy in the Highline School District is another new Upower location. This small school provides core academics in a highly personalized and a safe environment.
Here’s what CHOICE has to say about us:
“We are delighted to have Upower guest teachers join us weekly in P.E. This spring, we’ve enjoyed sessions of strength training, self-defense, conditioning exercises, and even a few team sports. The trainers generously share their extensive expertise in leading workouts, in modifying exercises for all levels of fitness, and in working with groups of teenagers.
We’re getting fit, having fun, and learning skills that will help us lead active lives long after we leave high school. Best of all, Upower leaders encourage us to always pursue excellence; we are reaching a little farther, trying a little harder, and taking a few more risks with their support and guidance. Thanks, Upower!”
