Health
The goal of Health Education at The Prout School is to improve upon the health of all students. Research indicates that young people today are less healthy than those of recent generations. Health is the condition of the physical, mental, and social self. The level of our health can change from minute to minute, hour to hour, and year to year. This is why it is so important for people to realize that they have the power to control their own health and well being. Health education in the school setting provides classroom opportunities to present objective information on a variety of health topics. This is done through the use of text books, lectures, videos, internet access, and presentations done by the students. Health education also makes the students aware of how the body reacts to diseases, drugs, tobacco products, and environmental hazards. Health education at The Prout School is developed to help students become more aware of today’s health issues, which will in turn enable the students to become healthy literate individuals.
