Our high school lessons are designed for all high school ages and can be facilitated in multi-grade classrooms. We recommend that students who have not yet received a SASSMM lesson in high school receive Lesson 1 before any other module. We suggest students receive at least 2 SASSMM lessons per school year.
Each lesson can be adapted for in-person and virtual learning and runs approximately 50-60 minutes long.
