Coordinated School Health
The Mission of Coordinated School Health
“The mission of Coordinated School Health is to improve students’ health and their capacity to learn through the support of families, communities and schools.”
CSH Model
The CDC’s Coordinated School Health (CSH) model is a systematic approach that ensures that a school community effectively links health with educational success. Although these components are listed separately, it is their composite that allows CSH to have significant impact. CSH is implemented in a way that fits the unique needs and resources of each school community. The eight components of CSH are:
Comprehensive School Health Education
Physical Education and Activity
Nutrition Services
School Health Services
School Counseling, Psychological and Social Services
Healthy and Safe School Environment
Student, Family and Community Involvement in Schools
Health Promotion for Staff

8 Components
The Coordinated School Health (CSH) model is a method of connecting health and learning that consists of eight inter-related components. This approach constitutes a systems change by improving students’ health and their capacity to learn through personal responsibility, and the support of families, communities and school.
By definition all Coordinated School Health Components work together to improve the lives of students and their families. Although these components are listed separately, it is their composite that allows CSH to have significant impact.
