Health
Health education and concern for students’ health status have always been the shared responsibilities of the home, the school and the community. We serve a varied student body at UNIS which includes children of all ages and of many different cultures living in and around New York City. UNIS recognizes its responsibility to work with all children, their parents and community health care providers, to ensure that these health care and educational needs are identified and met and that students have the tools and experiences that will help them become productive, satisfied members of society.
Instructional methods vary from classroom presentations to group discussions to role playing; other activities include assemblies, project presentations and participation in conferences such as the observance of World AIDS Day at the United Nations.
