Note: This program specifically meets high school level standards aligned to the 9th/10th grade Standards. This program is ideal for 9th and 10th grade students, and it has also worked well for 11th and 12th grade students who have not completed their required Health credit.

This High School Health program is not meant to be purchased along with the Middle/Jr. High School Health program for use in the same school district, given lesson overlap.

If you're interested in using both our Middle/Jr. High and High School Health programs, you will want our SEQUENTIAL Middle/Junior AND High School Health Curriculum, which we've designed as 4 consecutive, scaffolded programs.

We offer two types of licenses for Health Education Today: the "Transferable License" and the "Single User Non-Transferable License."

★ This "Single User Non-Transferable License" is designed for individual use by one teacher only and is strictly non-transferable. It cannot be shared or passed on to other teachers. This license model is commonly purchased by teachers for their personal use, guaranteeing that each educator has their own license for accessing the curriculum.

★ On the other hand, our "Transferable License" product is intended to be assigned to one teacher at a time, but it is transferable to accommodate yearly staff changes. In situations involving teacher turnover, extended leave, or other special cases, this license can be reassigned to another teacher. The flexibility of this license ensures that the curriculum remains accessible even amid staffing fluctuations.
