Coordinated School Health encourages healthy lifestyles, provides needed supports to at-risk students and helps to reduce the prevalence of health problems that impair academic success.
Coordinated School Health is an effective approach designed to connect health (physical, emotional and social) with learning. CSH improves children’s health and their capacity to learn through the support of families, communities and the schools working together.
The involvement of parents, families and community is the glue that binds the CSH. Full involvement of these entities as partners in the educational process provides valuable input, increases the commitment of all partners and ensures positive educational and health outcomes.

Coordinated School Health Highlights
Be the difference between basic physical activity and QUALITY PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
"Someone can be physically active without being physical educated. For example, I can take a brisk walk and be physically active. But if I'm physically educated I have been taught how to recognize and have a good understanding of the benefits and the purpose of walking to increase my healthy state. Physical activity is the "What". Physical education is the "Why", the "How", the "When", the "How Long" and the "How Much". Physical education is teaching life-long active living so an 8 year old will some day be 80 years old and able to carry 2 sacks of groceries up 2 flights of stairs". - Jean Blaydes
