The purpose of the health program is to help the student make independent, informed decisions concerning her physical, mental, and social well-being. It encourages the student to discover her unique capability and responsibility for development of attitudes and patterns of behavior that will provide a full and satisfying life.

The health program continues to teach life lessons while utilizing “state-of-the-art” technology relating to physical and mental health, diseases, web site validity, safety, self-defense, nutrition, CPR, First Aid training, and drug abuse.

Each module is sustained by viewing a supportive documentary regarding specific diseases and abuses. Interactive lectures, role-play, group work, and critical thinking skills are an integral part of the curriculum taught daily in Christian faith.
