Andrews Sports Institute Recognized by Department of Education and Lifelong Learning

July 31, 2019 / admin /

Andrews Sports Institute (ASI) for Future Leaders has had a busy year. After piloting the ASI Remote Program, which attracted students from around the world, ASI has been approved by the Department of Education and Lifelong Learning to have their Program recognized as an external credit. In other words, PEI high school students can now receive official high school credits for their participation in the Program. Since the approval, Ben MacDonald, ASI’s Director, has been busy preparing for the new Program which will be available to Island students this fall and winter.

“We are thrilled to have been accepted by the Department of Education and Lifelong Learning to make ASI’s ‘Discover Leadership Through Sport’ an external credit. We have had the opportunity to work with some fantastic individuals and cannot thank them enough for their guidance throughout the process. We look forward to continuing the development of Island youth academically and in hockey.” – ASI Director Ben MacDonald.

The new program ‘Discover Leadership Through Sport’ will now credit students who meet the requirements of the course. The Program features four core modules: leadership, hockey skill development, reading, and service-learning. The goal is not only to develop strong hockey players but also to provide students with the tools and experience to become influential future leaders in their communities.

Cynthia Dennis- Yoga Instructor

Cynthia first began practicing yoga in 1998. Very early on she enjoyed seeing the parallels of her practice on the mat, and how it helped with overcoming challenges in the rest of her life. With a strong focus on alignment which she learned from the Iyengar tradition, she sees yoga as meditation in action, and advocates staying mindful in each movement, viewing every asana as an opportunity to grow and evolve. With lots of attention to detail, Cynthia aims to give students an understanding about the intended benefit of each pose, and breathing technique, and loves watching students find increased awareness and intelligence in their own bodies. She teaches beginner, flow, kids, chair, prenatal, and parent and baby yoga classes, and leads meditation and mindfulness sessions at a number of locations on the Island. "It is through your body that you realize you are a spark of divinity." - BKS Iyengar.
