Now is the time for your teen to gather the lifelong tools for building good spiritual, physical, and emotional health—and this course will help! Unlike many high school health classes, this one encourage teens to reach out to others and live a healthy life as they maintain a consistent walk with the Lord. In addition to emphasizing staying healthy through nutrition, exercise, and personal hygiene, your high schooler’s video teacher from Abeka Academy also gives practical tips for preventing disease and administering first aid. Biblical discernment is also encouraged as it applies to health regarding suicide, abortion, euthanasia, and organ donation. As your teen becomes acquainted with his classmates on the video, he will feel as though he is a part of the class. The teacher will even pause to allow “classmates watching” opportunity to participate.
The prerecorded online video streaming or DVDs give you the flexibility to set your own daily schedule. The video lease provides you with a full full 6 months to complete the 85 lessons, which take 40–50 minutes of viewing time each. You also have the option to purchase either the tuition and books or tuition only (for those who may already have some of the materials and wish to purchase individual items separately). Both options include the assessment materials, a video manual to help you stay on track with the video teacher, and record-keeping progress reports to document progress through the school year.
Abeka Academy also offers the option of Independent Study, in which you keep your teen’s academic records, or our Accredited Program. Our Accredited Program does not cost a penny more and provides official report cards, an official transcript, and free standardized testing. It also gives you the option to choose digital assessments. With either option, academic assistance is only a phone call or an e-mail away. One semester. Recommended grade 9.
