La Europa Academy both provides for and nurtures a culture of wellness in our program. Our strength-based approach is the foundation for teaching the skills for a balanced and vibrant life-style. Every day through food choices, exercise, yoga and life-enriching practices like massage, our girls learn to develop their own wellness philosophy.
Our Wellness Coordinator is a certified Personal Trainer. Each girl sets individualized wellness goals monthly in one of the following areas: exercise, nutritional habits, or self-care practices like relaxation. Wellness goals are incorporated into each student's level goals and considered as an indicator of the overall functioning when assessing progress.
La Europa Academy employs a full-time cook and our menu is planned with a dietician. Each meal offers a variety of food options including whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables. The girls participate in planned physical activity every day including strength-training three times per week, yoga, and varied aerobic options. Attendance at the local recreation center three times per week offers a variety of exercise choices. The students and staff participate in organized 5K runs each month in the warm weather season and downhill skiing, snowshoe hikes, cross-country skiing and snowboarding activities during the winter months. La Europa Academy is located within 30 minutes of several world- renowned ski resorts. Additionally, several times annually, La Europa girls take trips to explore the mountains and canyons of Utah in ways that are therapeutic as well as healthy.
