The Boulder Valley School District Health Education Program provides comprehensive, skill-based, age appropriate classroom instruction that addresses the physical, mental, emotional and social dimensions of health. Embedded in the health curricula are content and skills that are crucial for students to know, understand, and be able to do in order to achieve and maintain optimal health and minimize negative health behaviors. Within this program, there is a heavy emphasis on developing health enhancing personal behaviors that can be used in real-world interactions both inside and outside the school setting and throughout life.
