Overview of the Community School Model
The Community School Model is a transformative approach to education that integrates academics, health and social services, youth and community development, and community engagement. The goal is to improve student learning, build stronger school connections, and create healthier communities. This model emphasizes the collaboration between schools, families, and community resources to support the holistic development of students. Key components include extended learning opportunities, family engagement, health and social services, and community partnerships.
