Community School Design Framework

The Community School Design Framework is a strategy that integrates local resources, partnerships, and services within schools to support students' academic success and well-being. It involves collaborating with families, community organizations, and agencies to address students' broader needs—such as health, nutrition, and mental health—alongside education. By fostering a sense of shared responsibility and creating a supportive environment, this framework aims to improve student outcomes, increase engagement, and strengthen the connection between schools and the communities they serve. Ultimately, it transforms schools into hubs of holistic support for students and families.
