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 encourages 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 “students 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 a full 6 months to complete 85 lessons for a semester. You also have the option to purchase either the Video & Books or Video (for those who may already have some of the materials and wish to purchase individual items separately). A video manual is provided with either option to help you stay on track with the video teacher. Also, record-keeping progress reports are included with both options to document your child’s progress through the school year.
Abeka Academy offers two different program types to meet your family’s specific needs. The Unaccredited program allows for more course flexibility and relies solely on the home teacher to keep track of student records. For an additional charge, the Accredited program provides official report cards and standardized testing as well as reliable record-keeping by our academic team. With either option, academic assistance is accessible through email, live chat, or phone. Conveniently view our Homeschool Agreement before purchase to understand the requirements. One semester. Recommended grade 9.
