WELLNESS PHILOSOPHY
The Wellness Department seeks to provide a balance between the expression of individuality, a responsible concern for the rights and needs of others, and the opportunity to examine and monitor one’s wellness.
The program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive health and fitness education through required and elective courses. Each course reflects aspects of physical, social, emotional, intellectual, environmental, occupational, leisure, and spiritual well-being. This department gives students an opportunity to understand that all components of Wellness are interconnected and of equal importance.
Understanding the continuum of illness, prevention, and optimal well-being allows students to make connections between life’s choices and decisions. Our curriculum is designed to build a healthy life style by providing skills, challenges and experiences.
Within the Wellness Curriculum, students will
1. Become an expert on themselves.
2. Recognize that they are not alone in the world.
3. Understand that the world is constantly changing and so are they.
