Heath and Wellness Pathway (HW)
Heath and Wellness Pathway
This pathway will explore how environmental and social factors impact individual, community, and public health. Students in this pathway will consider health and wellness holistically, from learning about the relationships between physical, mental, spiritual, and social wellbeing to the understanding of biology, psychology, chemistry, etc. Students will be pushed to conduct and interpret scientific research through the lens of sustainability.
Holistic health is about caring for the whole person — providing for their physical, mental, spiritual, and social needs. It's rooted in the understanding that all these aspects affect a person’s overall health, and being unwell in one aspect affects you in others. Students will examine this pathway from a perspective of supporting communities and individuals to see the different forms of health as a resource to be protected.
Graduation Projects may explore biodiversity of a community, access to food/farms, entrepreneurial solution to a local problem impacting the environment.
