Andreas Wenger is a three-time Ironman triathlete, with an athletic career as a soccer player and triathlete. Prior to joining LFCSA, he also worked as an Energetic Structural Integration therapist and studied acupuncture.
Although he claims, “We’re just having fun!” the physical education classes he delivers are deliberately designed to foster well-being and academic success for the children. His P.E. program is based upon the Physical Education Framework, which suggests that a healthy, physically active child is more likely to achieve academic success; and he works hard to ensure that each child participates fully. One of his primary values in physical education is to emphasize teamwork and cooperation, insisting that the children minimize competition between them.
Mr. Wenger also supervises the teacher’s aides, is in charge of safety and emergency procedures, and is the facilities manager at LFCSA. In his spare time he runs a summer, spring, and snow camp for children.
Originally from Switzerland, Mr. Wenger first came to California in 1994 on vacation. He is one of the founding teachers of LFCSA.
