Healthy®, a Comprehensive School Health Currriculum for
Grades K-6

school health education curriculum, is designed to provide school
health teachers with the tools they need to effectively teach
health education. This K-6 curriculum is designed to motivate
and assist students to maintain and improve their health, enabling
them to develop the skills and attitudes necessary for health-related
problem solving and informed decision-making. Growing Healthy®
meets or exceeds the performance indicators established for
the National Health Education Standards at all grade levels.
In addition, Growing Healthy® utilizes opportunities to
