A community school is a place and a set of partnerships between the school, community-based organizations, and other resources. Schools become centers of the community -- open to children, parents, and community members before, during, and after the school day. Community schools do not follow a specific program; they represent a shared strategy among partners and stakeholders to promote improved student learning, stronger families, and healthier communities.
This program is available to children no matter where they live or go to school. If you have additional questions or want to learn more, please contact our team. We'd be happy to assist you!
