  This 3-week course is targeted toward students who would like to earn their upper/high school health credit over the summer. This course addresses current and lifetime issues such as stress management, nutrition, healthy decision-making, mental health, human sexuality, drug use and abuse, and other contemporary health topics. The course will involve both synchronous (in-person) and asynchronous (at-home) learning with the teacher as well as group/partner work and has a heavy focus on discussion-based participation. During the regular school year, this is the Hawken health class for freshmen. Health is a required Hawken graduation requirement and may be taken during summer, even by incoming Hawken freshmen. Taking this course will enable 9^th grade students to have a free block in place of health class during one semester of the regular school year. Non-Hawken students need to check with their school to determine if the class will be accepted for credit. Attendance Note: Due to the compressed nature of this course and focus on in-person participation, students should not register for a session in which they anticipate a planned absence and simply can take it during the school year.

  Description: 

  This 3-week course is targeted toward students who would like to earn their upper/high school health credit over the summer in a remote capacity. This course addresses current and lifetime issues such as stress management, nutritional highlights and our relationships with food, healthy decision-making, mental illnesses, human sexuality, drug use and abuse, and other contemporary topics. The course will involve both synchronous and asynchronous learning with the teacher as well as group/partner work with a heavy focus on discussion-based participation. During the regular school year, this is the Hawken health class for 9^th graders. Taking this course will enable students to have two blocks free for study in place of health class during one semester of the regular school year.  Non-Hawken students need to check with their school to determine if the class will be accepted for credit. 
  
  Note: A key element of this course involves independent use of technology with daily credit given to students who are physically on-screen and engaged. Due to the compressed nature of this course, partnered activities, and focus on live, virtual engagement, students should not register for a session during which they anticipate a planned absence.
