WELLNESS PERSPECTIVES CLASSES
Wellness Perspectives includes important supplemental topics that are integral to student development and success. Students meet with instructors for 55 minutes in cohorts that rotate every five weeks. Due to the nature of the encouraged conversations among students and their different stages of cognitive and social development, the cohorts are sorted according to students' years in school, with 8th and 9th graders in combined cohorts, 10th graders in their own cohorts, and 11th and 12th graders in combined cohorts. The six Wellness Perspectives course subjects include:

• Culture & Leadership
• Physical Health
• Social & Emotional Wellness
• Sexual Health
• Substance Education
• Transitions for Life
