Health-Promoting Schools

Health-Promoting Schools (HPS) are educational environments that actively support the physical, mental, and social well-being of students and staff. They integrate health education, healthy school policies, and a positive school climate to encourage healthy behaviors like good nutrition, physical activity, and mental wellness. By fostering collaboration among students, teachers, families, and communities, HPS aims to create a supportive setting where health is prioritized alongside learning, leading to improved overall well-being and academic success.
