Standards

Health education standards are designed to establish, promote, and support health-enhancing behaviors for students in all grade levels. Standards and their performance indicators are available at SHAPE America.

The NHES are written expectations for what students should know and be able to do by grades 2, 5, 8, and 12 to promote personal, family, and community health. The standards provide a framework for curriculum development and selection, instruction, and student assessment in health education. DoDEA adopted the NHES in SY 24/25. To view the standards and all grade level performance indicators please visit SHAPE America.
