School programs
Healthy lifestyles begin in childhood
We want a world where every student’s wellness is a priority, every school has the resources to manage their students’ health, and students are empowered to take charge of their health.
Our school health programs focus on students’ complete physical, mental, and social well-being (as defined by the World Health Organization). The program components are based on national standards, align with state guidelines, and are evidence-based. We take the programs into schools to meet the students, teachers, and parents where they are.

Elementary wellness screenings
Healthy students are better learners. Our free wellness screenings include hearing, vision, vital signs, and a complete head-to-toe assessment for elementary students with parental consent. A registered nurse can identify potential issues and recommend referrals for follow-up monitoring and care.
Middle school social-emotional wellness
Physical changes, an increase in academic rigor, and social factors make the middle school years a pivotal time for early adolescent development. We created a comprehensive program to address social-emotional wellness. It offers participating schools a learning curriculum, staff development, free social-emotional wellness screenings, and access to follow-up care.
High school healthy lifestyle curriculum
Teenage students begin to make their own decisions about food, activity levels, and other lifestyle choices. Our free high school program includes a curriculum with personal application components and teaches teens to take charge of their health, showing how today’s decisions can shape their futures.
