The Issaquah School District offers full-time
students the option of taking the required
Health course online. The online option is for
students whose schedule is full because of course sequences such as music and
world languages. Student MUST HAVE counselor's approval to take
Health
Online.
Health Online is taught by Issaquah
School District Health teachers. We use an Apex Learning course with
supplemental materials developed by the Issaquah School District staff. The course is based on the
Washington State Essential Academic Learning Requirements for Health and Fitness
and the standards and competencies from the National Standards for Family and
Consumer Sciences Education. The course satisfies .5 credit of the Washington
state graduation requirement for occupational education. This course includes the 10th grade culminating project
activities required for graduation.
Students are required to attend an orientation
meeting on or about the first day of class to receive important course
information and submit the Acceptable Use and Behavior contract.
Is Online Learning for you?
This is
not an easier route than taking a Health class during the regular
school day; there will be approximately five hours of class work to be completed
each week. Taking the course during summer term requires 15 hours
of work to be completed each week. If you already have a rigorous schedule, you must be a
highly-motivated student to complete this additional course work. All
course work must be completed within the semester enrolled. Take this
quick online quiz to see if online learning is for you. Online
