Health: Life Management Skills

Couse description

Signposts are everywhere in life. They may send us in either positive or negative directions. Students follow the signposts in Life Management Skills and learn to use a biblical worldview to develop the skills for healthy, effective, and godly living, which will enable them to live according to God’s Word and what He expects. Students learn to use important tools for communicating feelings and opinions through a biblical lens. Through the study of real-life issues students are guided into forming healthy attitudes and behaviors that promote personal development, health, and well-being, in order to bring glory to God and experience His pleasure. Other tools provide a foundation for students to become savvy consumers in a world of advertising and credit cards, and to focus on practices that help protect the world God has created for us.

Many states require students to take a drug and alcohol awareness course as a prerequisite for enrollment in driver’s education or applying for a learner’s license. This course covers these topics, but it is not a state-authorized course. Each state provides online courses specific to this requirement. Please contact your state’s motor vehicle agency to find the list of certified drug and alcohol awareness courses available in your area.

This course also provides an option to receive CPR certification as part of the course credit, but it is not required. Students needing this option, which many states require for graduation, are required to make arrangements for this training with local community resources. This often requires a nominal fee.
