At Noble Street College Prep in Chicago, Ill., administrators rearranged the school's schedule to allow for a fitness-leadership program involving CrossFit. Likewise, the founding campus, Noble Street Charter School, got rid of its gym's machines, replacing them with rowers and bumper plates.
"It has supercharged the culture in the school to orient towards teamwork and pushing each other, developing grit and optimism-all those things that ... have taken our schools to the next level," says David Oclander, principal fellow, Noble Network of Charter Schools.
The revamped P.E. program has created some important learning opportunities.
"CrossFit helps because every day I know I'm facing a challenge, but I don't know what I'm gonna do," says Stephanie Ramos, a student at Chicago Bulls College Prep, a Noble school that has also adopted CrossFit as its P.E. program.
She adds: "I never know what to expect in CrossFit and it just relates to everything that happens in life."
Noble Network CEO and Superintendent Michael Milkie says the goal is to show students that there will be obstacles in life.
"They can overcome them," he says, "and they can learn important elements of life as they overcome them."

This is awesome. My kids do crossfit outside of school...wish is was a part of their daily curriculum.
I love that all of the educators actually look healthy and fit too!
This is so interesting because my sisters are in the Noble Network Schools, Rauner College Prep, and they just finished their Rugby season. And they were looking for another activity to get involved in and they found it, they're going to do CrossFit. So I think this is an awesome coincidence that they did a piece on the Noble Schools, I know that not all of them have this training regimen.
God damn, my school is an independent one and we have such a shitty little gym, you could imagine they could afford something better! This is so awesome, I wish we could have a Crossfit gym at school!
I love this I'm going to try to add this to my youth programs!!
Great approach to life long fitness and success principals.
