Be Well Mater Dei
Be Well MD is a wellness curriculum aimed to build upon the students' emotional, social, and spiritual well-being and intelligence.
The Be Well Mater Dei Curriculum is a Wellness Curriculum that is being integrated and created by Mater Dei High School Catholic Educators and CHOC Licensed Clinicians and Psychologists. Our mission as Catholic school educators, dedicated to holistic education includes, as a key component, the integration of wellness. The Be Well Mater Dei Curriculum calls Catholic Educators to continue what they have always done in an intentional way. The competencies of a wellness curriculum life, knowing and controlling oneself, relating to others, and making good choices are elements of the two great commandments: to love God and love our neighbor. With the Be Well Mater Dei Curriculum, we seek to teach and guide students to live a life of virtue, rooted in our belief that God loves and lives in us and our communities.
