A community school is both a place and a set of partnerships between the school and other community resources. Its integrated focus on academics, services, supports and opportunities leads to improved student learning, stronger families and healthier communities.

Programs and services at community schools are rooted in six pillars:

Health and wellness
Educator support
Academic enrichment
Extended learning time
Parent and family engagement
Community engagement

Each community school has its own coordinator who creates an advisory board that assesses the school’s unique needs. The coordinator works to connect their school and families to community organizations and programs that fill gaps and remove barriers to learning.
