Health – High School – FX

Flex Course Overview:
Health – High School is a course designed with the flexibility to help students complete their coursework at their own pace and schedule. Students may bypass portions of unit content and assignments by showing mastery of materials and objectives if they choose the option to challenge a unit by taking the challenge test. Based on how well they do on a challenge test, some coursework may be exempted. This course is divided into eight units with coursework (including computer and teacher-graded assignments) and a unit exam. Based on how well they do on a challenge test, some coursework may be exempted. There is no high-stakes final exam; just shorter incremental exams in each unit, two of which must be scheduled with a proctor.

This course includes a unit with instruction on human biology, development, and reproduction. Parents or guardians who wish to exempt their student from this unit may do so by submitting a written request via email to the student’s teacher. An alternative unit will be provided, and no academic penalty will be applied. This course does not cover human sexuality and complies with Idaho Code §33-1608 and 33-1611A.

The Idaho State Department of Education requires all public school students to be instructed in Hands-Only CPR as part of a health/ wellness course. This includes instruction and demonstration, as well as information on AED (Automated External Defibrillator). This course meets that requirement. View full syllabus
