About the Curriculum

The Right Content for Each Grade Level - 2008 Update

Beginning in the sixth grade and continuing through high school, the Scott & White Worth the Wait® curriculum provides factual, age-appropriate information that helps students understand that abstinence is the expected standard for teens. As students advance from grade to grade, they receive more detailed information and learn lessons that build upon knowledge acquired in previous years. Even so, each year’s curriculum can also be used very effectively as a stand-along product.
