Levi Molitowsky '25

The decision to board at RNS as a key member of the Prep Boys’ Basketball team was relatively easy for student-athlete Levi Molitowsky ’25 because “I eat, sleep, and breathe basketball,” he says. “What stood out to me about RNS was Coach Gay. From the first time we spoke, I could tell that he had created a great culture for the basketball program, and I instantly knew I wanted to be part of it. I want to take my game to the next level, but it was also essential to my family that I go to a school with strong academics to receive a good education.”

 

Levi is a Grade 9 student from East St Paul, Manitoba, who joined the RNS community in September. He is living in Kirk House and making friends from all across the world. “I wouldn’t have had that opportunity if I wasn’t here.” As a boarding student, Levi says the biggest lesson he has learned is communication. “You have to be more independent when you’re living on your own, so it’s essential to speak up, especially with my Houseparent and roommate, so we’re all on the same page.” 

 

He came to RNS with science and math as his favourite subjects, and now he’s added English to that list. “My writing has improved so much from last year, and I’ve really been enjoying reading,” he says. “English class is making me think more creatively and outside the box.”

 

Levi is a structured student who has a daily routine that includes basketball, going to the Roslyn Isobel Stollery Fitness Centre, staying on top of his classwork, and practicing yoga. 

 

“What I like most about yoga is not only the physical aspects (such as flexibility and injury prevention) but the mental benefits too. My favourite pose is bridge pose because it challenges me, and I get better at it every time I practice.”
