Introducing the Sixth Edition of ESTEEM
Primary prevention for optimal health.
Help students build healthy habits and make decisions that support their goals. The sixth edition of ESTEEM offers interactive, age-appropriate workbooks for students in fifth grade through high school, with lessons that connect health, relationships, and everyday choices. The series integrates the 5 Dimensions of Health, Human Flourishing, and the Success Sequence.
Five Grade Levels with Workbook A and Workbook B
Each grade-level series includes two workbooks, giving schools and families ten books to explore.
14-Lesson Topic Overview
Each grade level builds on the year before through age-appropriate, developmentally sequenced lessons for Grades 5–9+.
Workbook A · Lessons 1–7
Whole-Person Health Foundations
Workbook B · Lessons 8–14
Relationships, Risk Avoidance & Human Flourishing
Health Lessons for Everyday Decisions
ESTEEM helps students understand how daily choices influence their well-being and future opportunities. Through guided activities and reflection, students practice setting goals, communicating respectfully, strengthening relationships, and recognizing pressures that can interfere with their plans. The 5 Dimensions of Health connect physical, social, intellectual, spiritual, and mental well-being to Human Flourishing.
Family conversations extend learning beyond the classroom and encourage students to apply these skills at home. The Success Sequence encourages students to plan for graduating from high school, working full time, and marrying before having children.

WHAT EDUCATORS ARE SAYING
“I believe the JH grades are the most vulnerable times for students. This is a time when the students are wanting to make grown up decisions without grown up experiences and judgment. Risky behavior can be curbed with the appropriate type of education and by giving students the knowledge that not every student does or participates in all the activities they may say they do.”
– Dr. Bobby Rice
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to empower students, with the help of their families, to practice informed and healthy personal decision making. We accomplish this by providing age appropriate, relevant, factual, and interactive educational workbooks/journals for students in 5th grade through High School. Our curriculum addresses 12 risky behaviors and 9 character-building skills as well as many other risk avoidance topics.
ESTEEM helps students learn life skills to: aid in setting goals, understand health eating habits and exercise routines, help them assess modern-day media influences, increase understanding and awareness of the risks and consequences of sexual activity such as teen pregnancy and disease, strengthen communication skills, and understand risky situations to increase their awareness of hazardous distractions to help them achieve their potential as positive, productive members of society.
