Elementary Health Curriculum
Grades K – 5th
Healthy habits start early. The Newberry Academy Health curriculum helps
students understand how their bodies work, how to care for themselves, and
how daily choices affect overall wellness.

clear way so students can build healthy habits that last.
Students learn about:

Health lessons are written specifically for elementary students and are
designed to be easy for families to incorporate into their homeschool routine.
