Mission & Vision
The mission of Health Class @ Home is to empower young individuals with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their health while maintaining parents' choice and family values. We envision a world where every adolescent has access to comprehensive health education that nurtures their physical, emotional, and social well-being.
To provide kids and parents with reliable, research-based health education that helps children develop essential skills to thrive in society, the platform will provide age-appropriate content, interactive activities, and parent-child discussion tools.
Why Choose Health Class @ Home?
Health Is A Personal Right
There are many decisions we have to make in our life that can affect our health. That includes our food choices, our relationships, physical activities, our resilience, and so much more. So how do we make the right decisions? Learn how at Health Class @ Home.
Awkward doesn't = Avoid
It's unreasonable for us to expect parents to know everything about health. It's also not always easy to teach our children health topics because we don't always have time or don't feel comfortable having 'the talk.' Use Health Class @ Home to help relieve parental demands and expectations to support your kids healthy development.
Reliability
Our health and well-being is reliant on our skills and knowledge in all things health-related. But most of us believe we can just google the information. Google sites are often not listed in order of reliability so you often are not getting the best information AND Google cannot help you develop skills.
We aren't all-knowing
Some of our kids have access to health classes in school, but they are limited in it's content and/or we don't feel like they have enough control over what information our students have access to. Use Health Class @ Home to provide your child with the health information they need and you want to ensure they have access to.
Whichever the reason, Health Class @ Home provides parents with the ability to select health topics for their kids to learn online and on their own time.
Courses are evidence-based and age-appropriate, designed for parents to review before sharing with their children.

Dr. Alexandra Blenis-Gittens
Owner, Founder, and Lead Educator
Dr. Blenis-Gittens is an experienced health educator who aims to provide opportunities for all students to learn the most up to date information on health topics.
Dr. B's motivation to provide opportunities for everyone to learn how to care for their body and mind starts with her experiences before teaching. As a previous three-sport student-athlete, an athletic trainer, a previous private and public school student, a daughter of a scientist, and a daughter of a mother who opened many windows into holistic care, she gained great perspective of how different groups of people miss out on learning health-related information.
She aims to support parents to open learning opportunities for their children so their children do not have to learn these lessons the hard way, as she has watched many friends, family members, and peers.
