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
School Health Services
A Healthy and Safe School Environment
School Nutrition Services
School Counseling, Psychological and Social Services
Student, Family and Community Involvement in Schools
Health Promotion for Staff
