What is a Community School?
Community Schools provide an opportunity to transform our schools into student- and family-centered community hubs that deliver a ‘whole child education’. A community school is both a place and a set of partnerships between school and community. It has an integrated focus on academics, youth development, family support, health and social services, and community development. Community schools are a "strategy" for organizing resources of the community around student success. Through extended hours, services and relationships, community schools reconceive education as a coordinated, child-centered effort in which schools, families and communities work together to support students' educational success, build stronger families and improve communities.
