ActiveS School

The need for an active study environment

Research shows that spending too much time sitting down is detrimental, to children and adults alike. It is important to be able to change position during the working day. ActiveS School gives children an opportunity to switch between sitting and standing, and thereby creates a more active study environment. Stand up and work in school too!

The most important room

We’re convinced that standing up more to work leads to better health, increased learning ability and more peace and quiet in the classroom. A child’s working environment must be taken just as seriously as an adult’s. Nowadays height-adjustable desks are more or less standard in our workplaces because they lead to better health, creativity and peace in which to work. Shouldn’t this also be the case for our children?

Physical activity does not need to be sport

An active work environment produces more alert pupils who can concentrate more easily and have more desire to learn. By giving children the opportunity to stand up and work, we are creating a natural element of activity in the classroom. It has been demonstrated that just 10 minutes of activity per hour counteracts the negative effects of sitting down.
