Holistic Health Education
A unique high school health curriculum that encourages students to honestly assess how they treat their bodies and why daily life choices can drastically change their short and long-term health outcomes, both mentally and physically. This course uses national standard topics as a guideline to provide a well-rounded health education, but also provides additional “outside the box” topics for students to explore. By introducing natural holistic health options and alternative practices students will sharpen their critical thinking skills with the goal of taking ownership of their health and ponder the possibilities of maintaining optimal health with food and plants that have been available for centuries!

How it Works
Through a variety of self-paced online assignments that can fulfill 1/2 or 1 full credit, the course is designed to be 4 days a week with 1 hour of physical activity expected to be completed throughout the week. The physical fitness expectation can be either a sport or activity the student is already involved in or they can follow the provided assignment of setting a simple 90 day measurable goal. Assignments are about 45min each day and will incorporate links to articles to read and respond to, researching given topics and responding, hands-on projects, documentaries, video lessons, certifications and supplemental options for deeper learning about certain subjects. Students can choose all assignments based on interest or follow the suggested preassigned schedule. All work can be done in a spiral notebook. A minimum of 7 pages will need to be printed.
Sample Assignment
The preassigned schedule includes “required” assignments from each topic providing a well-rounded foundation in health education, while still allowing time for students to choose some assignments based on interest. If preferred, the entire course can be customized by choosing every assignment.
