What We Teach

The No Regrets team teaches REAL Essentials. It is designed for 7th grade, 8th grade and High School students, with each grade receiving 4-70 minute, but can be altered for your particular needs.

This is an example of the content taught. As we relaunch No Regrets, specific actives and topics covered on a given day may change (all content is from REAL Essentials, a SRA and healthy relationship curriculum from the Center for Relationship Education). If you have questions about what is being taught at your school, please contact us.
