Community Schools
Community schools promote positive, equitable outcomes by providing students and families with the physical and mental health, academic, and extracurricular supports needed to thrive.
While all schools support students, community schools are anchors of the community, serving as hubs that bring families, communities, and partners together to identify and address structural and institutional barriers to access, learning, and achievement.
Leveraging the power of the collective allows community schools to provide in-school wraparound services and vital support to students and families where they need them the most. These can include health and mental wellness services, counseling, access to food, clothing, school supplies, and technology, extended academic learning and enrichment, and more.
