For Grade 4 - 6

Soft drinks, video games, potato chips, and too much screen time can lead to a lifetime of health problems and greatly impact your student’s attention span. Parents make rules, and their children may follow them, but we really want our children to make healthy choices for themselves.

Start them on this path with Living Healthy: Nutrition, Exercise, and Making Wise Choices. This fun and flexible course uses the Charlotte Mason style to gently introduce topics that will inform their choices and impact their health for the rest of their lives.

Help your students choose a leader's lifestyle and overcome our culture's invitation to live on junk food and video games. You are preparing them spiritually and academically for a great purpose. Exercise and nutrition are critical areas of discipleship for every believer!

Incorporating our brand-new Living Healthy curriculum will give your children the wisdom they need to honor God by making a lifetime of healthy choices. This independent learning course for 4th-6th grade students uses the Charlotte Mason style to gently introduce fitness, serving sizes, superfoods, vitamins, immune system, food safety and much more.

This all-in-one course is sure to get students and parents learning together, up and moving together, and being healthy together! Inside you will find:

Words to Know, along with a glossary to build students’ vocabulary
Scripture copywork to connect your health with God’s Word
Core & More exercises and stretches to get students active
Activities and extras including research, discussion, drawing, field trips, and more
