Healthy Living (for upper school credit)

About Our Healthy Living Class

All Upper School students will need to complete this term length course before the conclusion of the Class X year, and before they enroll in any other non-team sport PE Classes. This class is designed to inform and prepare our students to navigate the challenges of adolescence and to provide them with the skills needed to make assertive, confident decisions in regard to their physical and mental health throughout their lives. The class will include units on Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, Healthy Relationships and Substance Abuse. Topics will include Nutrition, Sleep, Exercise, Mental Health, Teen Suicide and Self Harm, Body Image, Growth Mindset, Consent, Bullying, Technology, Sexual Behavior, Alcohol, Illegal Drugs, Vaping, and other important topics that may arise. While students will be asked to complete several in-class projects and assignments, students will not be required to complete any significant out of class homework or assessments. Taught by Kory Carpenter.
