Give students a guide for healthy living and wellness with High School Health.

This health course guides students in understanding and caring for their bodies through the lens of God’s Word. Rooted in the truth that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), students will explore human anatomy, personal health, nutrition, emotional well-being, and safety as aspects of honoring God with their bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Each unit emphasizes responsible stewardship, encouraging students to make informed, Christ-centered decisions that support physical, mental, and relational health. By understanding their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, students can live healthy lives reflecting their faith and care for others.

As a special note, Unit 2, Personal Health, also includes a lesson on sexual health, a topic that we know many families approach with care and conviction. We understand that every family is unique in how and when they want to discuss these important matters with their children. That’s why we are committed to clearly outlining the lesson to honor you in our approach. This lesson presents God’s design for sexuality through a biblical lens—affirming abstinence, discussing the consequences of early sexual activity, and celebrating intimacy within marriage as portrayed in Scripture. We believe that walking through difficult topics alongside Scripture helps students grow in wisdom, discernment, and faith. Still, we respect that not all families may be ready to engage with this material.

To support you in this area: 1) A Parent Guide will be provided to help you navigate the content with your child. 2) You’ll be able to preview all lesson materials at the beginning of your child’s course. 3)You may choose to opt out of this lesson if preferred.
