Zest Quest

Curriculum

Zest Quest® has combined state educational standards with daily healthy habits to create a unique cross-curriculum. The purpose of the curriculum is to raise the children's awareness on living a healthy lifestyle, while reinforcing their math, science, social studies and English language arts skills.

The Wellness Coach teaches the curriculum once a week in the classroom. Every month the children focus on one of the daily habits and participate in four lessons. The wellness lesson consists of key facts and an activity to reinforce the specific habit being studied that month. (See example.)

The students can accumulate points for each healthy habit and receive incentives for making healthier choices.
