Fitness for Life is an individualized, concepts-based, one-semester course designed to give students the knowledge and skills necessary to self-assess, create, conduct, evaluate, and redesign personal fitness programs. It is required of all students and there are no substitutions. Fitness for Life may be taken anytime during grades nine through twelve, but it is strongly recommended that students take the class in tenth grade year. The course is a combination of classroom and activity-based learning activities with a focus on proper nutrition and the mastery of skills and concepts necessary for students to become accomplished monitors of their personal lifetime fitness.
Teachers guide students to make individual decisions about their personal fitness programs and to develop positive attitudes and behaviors toward proper nutrition and fitness activities.
