A Culture of Wellness

Louisville Collegiate School’s primary aim is to be the healthiest place for kids to grow up. Foundational to this aspirational goal is our commitment to a culture and climate grounded in transformative relationships, honoring every person’s inherent worth, and our devotion to comprehensive wellness for all in our community.

This approach is nothing new at Collegiate. Throughout history, our faculty and staff have long known and practiced this approach, creating life-changing experiences for our students. What is now exciting in the field of education is that more and more research affirms our long-held philosophy and the importance of intentionally teaching to the whole person. Students are not individual parts taught in silos but entire human beings whose growth in all areas is exponentially enhanced when we teach and engage their whole being—the mind, the body, and the heart.

Whether in our classrooms, fields, or stages, we deliberately consider how students show up as whole human beings. We plan the best ways to create a learning experience that honors their authentic selves and nurtures growth and development in all areas of their lives.

Health and Well-being

2025-2026

This school year, Louisville Collegiate School is proud to partner with the Owsley Brown II Family Foundation and the University of Louisville’s Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute to celebrate A New Vision of Health. A community-wide examination of wellness will accomplish this new vision through eight different lenses: financial, environmental, psychological, intellectual, spiritual, cultural, nutritional, and physical health. Mrs. Brown developed the Circle of Harmony and Health paradigm, which is the cornerstone of the Envirome Institute’s work. The Circle of Harmony & Health is a tool designed to guide and empower individuals and communities to live the healthiest, most balanced life possible, and to understand the interconnectedness between all forms of health.

It is made up of eight parts, with each heart representing an aspect of health: nutritional, economic, environmental, psychological, intellectual, spiritual, cultural, and physical. The hearts are directly connected to the others, which together make up an individual’s and a community’s holistic health. At the heart of the Circle, you’ll find healthy air, water, and soil. Access to those three basic elements is the critical foundation to our communal health. The systems supporting any community – Corporations, Philanthropy, and Government – must consider the health of the entire system to make healthy decisions.
