Ontario Health and Physical Education Curriculum

Students in grades 1-12 now have an updated Health and Physical Education curriculum. The curriculum covers topics such as healthy relationships, consent, mental health, and online safety.

Resources to inform parents and to support learning at home include:

• An outline of the new Health and Physical Education curriculum for Grades 1-12.
• Guides on human development and sexual health are part of the curriculum - one for Grades 1-6 and one for Grades 7-12.
• Quick reference sheets about healthy relationships and consent as well as online safety, including the risks of "sexting".

There are also some information sheets available in different languages.

If you are new to Ontario and have children in Elementary or Secondary school you may find it helpful to read the Newcomers' Guides to Education.

Ontario has many services to help you maintain your sexual and reproductive health. Find the services you need and learn more about sexual identity.
