What is this course all about?

This course is comprehensive, packed with important and life-changing information and – more importantly – it is very practical!

We will delve not only into the world of food and nutrition, but exercise theory and mental and emotional health.

Amongst many others, we will talk about the basic elements of nutrition such as calories and metabolism, delve into macro and micronutrients, and look at different types of diet styles. We will also go quite deep into your digestive system, look at detoxification and how to maintain your immune system, and have a candid chat about eating disorders and stress. We will discuss ultra-processed foods, look at food allergies and intolerances, and look at practical ways to reimagine your own relationship with food.

We will also delve into ways to consider your own mental and emotional health, such as your emotional intelligence, your belief in your ability to make changes, and even how to develop a growth mindset. We will also carefully look at what stress is, and discuss practical ways to address this.

Finally, but certainly not all, we get super practical when it comes to how you exercise and move, including a range of interesting assessments to see how you stack up, or use them to assess someone else, perhaps a family member or a friend.

Who is it for?

This course is 75 hours long, and worth 0.5 of a credit. It fulfils perfectly your Health and Wellness Credit along your American Highschool Diploma journey! It contains 46 Lessons across 12 Modules, with a practical Activity for each Lesson. There are two assessments – a Theory Assessment midway and a Practical Assessment at the end – and throughout the course we keep a unique South African spin on it, so that you know everything contained in this course is available to us, right here and right now.

The course will consist of two books: a Student Book with all of the information and materials, and a Workbook for Activities, Module Assessments, and the Final Assessment.

In addition, audio files for each Lesson will be released as an update soon after launch, for anyone who prefers to listen rather than read.

And, of course, it is also perfect for any homeschooler wanting a comprehensive Health and Wellness course, whether you are doing the American Highschool Diploma, IEB, Cambridge, CAPS, and any other high school choice.
