What Is a Community School?

A community school is a school that serves as a hub for academics, support services, and community partnerships — all working together to help students thrive.

At its core, a community school offers:

• Rigorous, engaging academics

• Health and wellness services

• Expanded learning opportunities

• Strong partnerships with families and the community

By meeting students' academic, social, emotional, and physical needs, community schools create a powerful foundation for lifelong success. They don't just educate students — they strengthen families communities!
