Curriculum Goals

Physical, mental, and social health are important components of a student’s ability to learn, achieve and succeed.  The N.H. Department of Education has specific guidelines for the guidance & health programs at the middle school level.  Chester Academy will follow these guidelines by teaching the required topics at age appropriate times throughout the middle school years.

Skills – National Health Education Standards

These standards provide a foundation for the 5th – 8th grade guidance and health programs. 

 

The following skills will be taught in all four grades:

Accessing information, self management, analyzing internal & external influences, interpersonal communications, decision making, goal setting, and advocacy.

 

Focus
