Our curriculum uses objective measures of fitness, called benchmarks to track the progress of students and to encourage their development. It also includes a level-up system that creates a strong incentive to achieve more. Our Fitness Tracker App provides teachers with the ability to record student performance, provide feedback, and measure progress toward goals. We are unapologetic about striving for high levels of fitness and in seeking to develop young men and women of high moral character.

Hear from those doing it
“The Iliad Athletics approach to physical education is a long-overdue development in modern schooling. Their philosophy offers educators the opportunity to elevate PE from mere recreation to a transcendent and lasting pursuit. Iliad transforms physical education from a ‘box-checking’ exercise into a foundational pillar of student formation. I could not be more excited about how Iliad Athletics is changing the conversation around physical education for today’s students. The aim of their philosophy and curriculum gets at exactly what we are about: the formation of the whole person.”
Keith Nix
Head of School at Veritas School - Richmond, VA
“On an objective basis, Iliad Athletics provides students with the opportunity to build strength, speed, teamwork and confidence through structured functional training and competitive experiences, helping them grow not only in PE but as a person. Subjectively, we have truly loved the challenge Iliad Athletics has provided our students. The curriculum creates meaningful opportunities for them to struggle, persevere, and overcome. Watching them push through difficult moments, do hard things, and grow in both confidence and character has been rewarding; we can see the students coming out stronger on the other side! This has such has positive implications for the classroom, as well.”
