Health

The Stanford OHS Health and Wellness course is a self-paced course for students without a previous health class or AP Biology at Stanford OHS. In this course, students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain a long and healthy life by identifying and avoiding dangerous environments and risky behavior and by preventing common communicable and chronic diseases. Students also gain an appreciation for how the body and mind work and learn about the changes to be expected in the future. Finally, students learn about the role individuals play in public health and maintaining the health of a community. Using the course workbook as a guide, the course can be completed in less than a semester. This course fulfills the non-academic Health Stanford OHS graduation requirement and does not receive a letter grade.
