Upper School (9–12)

Wellness 9 builds a strong foundation of skills that all students will need for a successful transition into the upper school, such as time management, coping with stress, self advocacy, and developing healthy habits for nutrition, sleep, and exercise. Students also delve into identity, intersectionality, and systems of oppression. Developing and maintaining healthy relationships, consent, and managing social life in digital spaces are also covered.

Wellness 10 continues to build upon the six prongs of Wellness with emphasis on sexuality, healthy relationships, consent and boundaries, anatomy and physiology, and prevention of STIs and pregnancy. Students develop self-care skills, diving deeper into their exploration of mental health issues, mindfulness practices, and self-regulation skills.

Eleventh graders deepen their understanding of all they have learned about the six prongs of Wellness. They explore the complexities of how the prongs of Wellness intersect in their daily personal lives, within the Maret community, and within our larger society. Students practice skills that help support mental and physical health, as well as their interpersonal relationships.

Wellness 12 focuses on supporting seniors as they transition to the next stage beyond Maret. Students focus on real-life application of Wellness content and skills and get practical lessons in financial literacy, workplace skills, accessing resources, and navigating independent living.
