Health Education
The objective of the Health Education program is to provide information and skills which enable the students to make responsible decisions concerning their well-being.
The program was designed to offer up-to-date facts regarding health issues common to adolescents, incorporated with a commitment to Jewish values. Examinations and creative projects are used to evaluate the students' comprehension and internalization of those issues.
Age and grade appropriate topics include drug, alcohol, and tobacco education, gender issues, human sexuality and physical fitness. Underlying these modules is the paradigm of mental and emotional health as they relate to a positive sense of self. All freshman students are given a course of instruction in Adult CPR and receive full certification.

Physical Education
The mission of the physical education program is to enable students to develop the personal habits and routines that will promote physical health and well being throughout their adult lives. Each year begins with an inventory of each student's athletic skills and fitness milestones. The curriculum is designed to develop athletic skill in various sports, to encourage sportsmanship and, simultaneously, to facilitate individual performance. At the same time, the program enables each student to set individual goals in terms of personal fitness and to develop a program to help each student to realize these goals. Physical education is a requirement throughout the four years of high school.
