The Canadian Olympic School Program has provided teachers with free classroom resources since 1988. Its website provides learning resources that help to engage students in the the Olympic Games. The resources include stories of Olympic athletes, project pacts for teachers, learning kits, videos, interactive materials for students, games and more.

The 2009/10 elementary curriculum focuses on literacy (through a series of Olympian stories) and numeracy (through a financial literacy project pack). The Olympian stories focus on Olympic Values of excellence, fairness, respect, and leadership. Secondary curriculum is comprised of cross-curricular project packs that have students solve real-life Olympic Games problems. Each project pack contains handouts, teaching tips, an evaluation rubric and a list of links to provincial learning outcomes.
