About the Curriculum/Course (click here to expand section)
For high school students, this fulfills a full year of credit for Physical Education & Health under the “health” component.  Our organization will be helping students with planning and management of their course & projects in addition to group discussion of the current topic and additional information or ideas around the topic.

By engaging in this course, you will be equipped to more confidently and successfully:

  • Describe the role of health, nutrition, and wellness in their daily lives
  • Evaluate evidence that supports or disproves selected health claims
  • Provide examples of how psychological, spiritual (not necessarily religious), and emotional health are connected to their overall well-being and physical health
  • Identify and manage personal health risks based on current lifestyle choices
  • Identify and implement lifestyle changes that may enhance lifelong health
Required Materials
 At home, students will need access to the internet (home or library) to access their online course, look up information, related published materials and/or videos and do work through the Canvas learning management system. Some videos provided by illuminat-ED will be subscription-based and issued by illuminat-ED as needed. Some videos will be freely available.

Time Required Outside of Class
Arizona State University recommends 135 hours/semester for a 3-credit course which would include the 1-1/2 hours each week spent at in-person meetings at illuminat-ED (22.5 hours/semester).  This leaves students with approximately 7 hours/week for 16 weeks to do outside of our in-person meetings.  We have found that amount of time will depend on your student’s speed/fluency with writing, reading, working on their course-related projects, or the topic at hand and the content of the week.

Families should allocate 8 hours/week to complete various assigned activities and projects at first.  This course assumes that students are working on their ASU course during Mid-winter Pause; but does assume work during Spring Break.

College Credit
This course is eligible for college credit transcripted through Arizona State University (ASU) on the students permanent college education record.  If at the end of the course you are pleased with the grade issued by ASU, you can pay a $400 fee to have the course transcripted.  You have one year to decide whether to convert to credit and process the conversion.

If you do not like the grade, you do NOT have to convert the course and there will be no permanent record of the college course involvement.  You can transcript the course as an introduction to health & wellness or simply “health” and use the syllabus to list the areas where your student has done well in your homeschool course descriptions.  We can help you with this.

Parent Considerations
This is a college course that is more demanding than a typical high school course.  This particular course is one of three recommended for students new to college level work.  It has a strong online component as the course is a fully online program.  As an ASU partner, we have access to a broad range of materials to help support students in-person with the content and are able to see where they might be behind or not doing well on assignments.

While we are running this course over the Spring 2026 semester, if your student is falling behind – they do have a full year to complete the course if needed.  Although your registration only covers in-person support for the semester, if your student lands in this situation, we will absolutely work with your family on a game plan for completion and are happy to provide check-ins each month through the end of their year-long access.
