About Us

Schools at the Center Under the community schools model, schools become central hubs within the community, providing students and families with holistic supports and comprehensive community services in one place.
 
Holistic supports are provided through an integrated focus on academics, health and social services, youth and community development, and community engagement.
 
Partnerships fostered between schools, the community, public agencies, community-based organizations (CBOs), and other community resources.
