<strong>Vision</strong><br />
Health<br />
As a result of a CHCA health education, students will make informed decisions within a<br />
Christian perspective about personal, community, <strong>and</strong> global health issues. Students receive<br />
instruction in mental, physical, social, <strong>and</strong> spiritual health. Students are encouraged <strong>and</strong> guided<br />
to develop positive self-esteem, to accept themselves <strong>and</strong> others, to h<strong>and</strong>le stress, to solve<br />
problems, <strong>and</strong> to exercise leadership. By learning about body systems, nutrition, exercise <strong>and</strong><br />
by practicing physical activities students embrace health allied to physical fitness as a lifelong<br />
goal. Social health includes working within diverse relationships to share feelings with<br />
friends, family, <strong>and</strong> peers. Spiritual health places Christ at the center of a Christian’s life.<br />
Students are encouraged to seek physical, mental, <strong>and</strong> social challenges in life utilizing faithinformed,<br />
responsible choices.<br />
