Health Online

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 Learning Quiz

Course Description and Outline Supplemental materials developed by the Issaquah School District staff are in the areas of Leadership, Employability, Teenage Brain Development and Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
