New Hampshire Learn Everywhere Program at Elements MMA
Earn High School Credit Through Martial Arts
Program
Did you know that your martial arts training could count toward high school graduation?
Elements MMA is proud to participate in New Hampshire's Learn Everywhere program, giving eligible high school students the opportunity to earn physical education credit through their martial arts education.
Whether you're training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Taekwondo, Judo, Wrestling, Yoga, or MMA, you're developing more than physical fitness. You're learning discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and skills that extend well beyond the mats.
At Elements, we believe that learning happens everywhere—and we're excited to help our students receive recognition for the work they're already putting in!
What Is Learn Everywhere?
Learn Everywhere is a New Hampshire education initiative that allows high school students to earn academic credit through approved educational programs outside of the traditional classroom.
Instead of limiting learning to the school day, Learn Everywhere recognizes that students develop valuable knowledge and skills through community programs, extracurricular activities, and hands-on experiences.
As a participating provider, Elements MMA offers students the opportunity to work toward high school physical education credit while participating in martial arts training.
Students who successfully complete the approved program requirements receive a certificate that can be submitted to their New Hampshire public high school for graduation credit for 0.5 credit Physical Education.
Why Earn PE Credit at Elements MMA?
Physical education is about much more than playing sports or completing workouts. It's about developing lifelong habits, understanding movement, improving physical fitness, and learning how to take care of your body.
At Elements MMA, students develop these skills through structured martial arts instruction.
Physical Fitness & Coordination
Improve strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and overall athletic ability through regular training.
Confidence & Resilience
Build confidence through learning new techniques, solving problems, and working through difficult situations.
Discipline & Goal Setting
Set meaningful goals, work toward measurable improvements, and develop the perseverance to overcome challenges.
Teamwork & Community
Learn to work with training partners, support teammates, demonstrate respect, and contribute to a positive learning environment.
Practical Movement Skills
Explore different martial arts disciplines while developing body awareness, coordination, and safe training habits.
Our goal is to help students become healthier, more confident, and more capable individuals—both on and off the mats.

Students will be expected to demonstrate progress, consistent participation, and mastery of the required competencies.

Successful completion is based on demonstrated learning, not simply attending classes.
Step 4: Complete Your Program Requirements

After successfully completing the program, students receive a Learn Everywhere completion certificate from Elements MMA.
Students submit this certificate to their New Hampshire public high school to receive the designated physical education credit.
