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.
