| Our health program (kindergarten through grade 8) encourages students to build friendly relationships with others. They gain, self-confidence, practice good hygiene and sportsmanship, and they learn how to deal with feelings that they may have. Our health program uses a variety of different teaching techniques - workbooks, videos, class and peer discussions, group learning activities and games, and some hands-on projects. For grades 1 through 4, a Life Skills program helps the children deal with relevant topics of today, such as: peer pressure, bullying, and strangers. |
