Maryland Health II (Apex)

Maryland Health II is a one-semester course that is a valuable, skills-based health course designed for general education in grades 9 through 12. Maryland Health II helps students develop knowledge, attitudes, and essential skills in a variety of health-related subjects, including mental and emotional health, social health, nutrition, physical fitness, substance use and abuse, disease prevention and treatment, and injury prevention and safety.    
 
Through the use of accessible information and project-based learning, students apply the skills they need to stay healthy. These skills include identifying and accessing valid health information, practicing self-management, identifying internal and external influences, communicating effectively, making healthy decisions, setting goals, and advocating. Students who complete Maryland Health II build the skills they need to protect, enhance, and promote their own health and the health of others.    
 
This course is built to meet the standards in the Maryland Comprehensive Health Education Framework.

This updated course was originally created for Apex Courses and is now available in Courseware.
