This unique-to-DSHA program is designed to mimic how individuals achieve whole-person wellness beyond high school: through reflection, contemplation, planning, and action. We will provide you with the framework and a variety of opportunities to practice and internalize this process so that wellness becomes more than a requirement —it becomes a way of life.

spiritual health

community & contextual health

mental social emotional health

Individual Wellness

intellectual health physical health

diversity, equity, & engagement

A four-year, school-wide commitment will allow students to grow into the ability to manage their own wellness — during the high school years and beyond.

How does it work?

Freshman Year:

First semester, you will take Freshman Wellness Seminar. This occurs opposite of your twice-weekly Foundational Fitness class and is designed to help you navigate your DSHA experience – all with a focus on individual and community wellness. Second semester, you will have additional guided Applied Wellness experiences. Learn more on page 30!

Sophomore-Senior Year:

You will choose among a number of hands-on wellness experiences to help you gain a better understanding of the resources and experiences that align with your needs. They will be customized and individualized; measured and tracked with the help of a mentor; and dynamic to meet your changing needs.
