School Climate

Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) is an effective system designed to connect health (physical, social and emotional) with educational (cognitive and intellectual) programs. This coordinated approach to school health improves kids' health and their capacity to learn through the support of families, communities and schools working together.

A healthy school climate contributes to the effectiveness of the CSHP by permitting students and staff to feel safe, respected, and important in the school environment, and therefore more able and ready to learn.
