Our Mission:
Our mission is to ensure that all children in India, from Kindergarten to Grade 12, have access to high-quality, engaging physical education programs. We believe that physical activity plays a vital role in a child’s overall development, fostering not only physical well-being but also motor skills, teamwork, and a healthy lifestyle.

A Nationally Approved Curriculum:
PEPS offers a comprehensive curriculum for physical education, approved by the Government of India for nationwide implementation. Schools across all states can access this curriculum through SPEFL Knowledge Partners. We provide the curriculum itself, train physical education teachers (PT teachers) and trainers, and utilize digital tools to monitor every child’s progress.
Technology Support:
As physical literacy is not just physical activity, the PEPS – Physical Education Program for Schools presents a student app in association with Maverick with a holistic perspective for child-centric physical activity by bringing in novelty, incorporating music and simple home implements to make it fun, creating cohorts among students to inspire and motivate each other, providing knowledge and understanding to the caregivers by explaining the science of each activity, engaging students and providing accountability by monitoring consistency.
All exercises are animated and lessons include cross-curricular activities, yoga, and rhythm-based movements. Activities involving the entire family are also presented and video lessons on health and hygiene are presented. A transformation challenge is posed to create the habit of consistency by picking one element per week to monitor and become accountable. Instead of a ‘To Do’ list of resolutions, we provide a ‘To Be’ list of intentions to build character. A digital certificate is issued every month to students for their consistency.
