LET US STUDY

Importance of Healthy Schools and Community

Schools and community
play a vital role in developing
and supporting children as they
grow and learn. Every teacher,
parent, administrator and
school staff member wants to see students succeed in
school, and establish the skills, knowledge and readiness
they will need as adults.
The skills and knowledge gained through schools are
not enough to provide students with the strong
foundation they need to lead lives that are physically,
emotionally, socially, and mentally healthy.
By developing healthy school environments, we can
set students up for success in the classroom and beyond.

3
Health in our schools must extend beyond the curriculum and the
classroom to the entire school setting. Establishing physical and
social environments, formal and informal learning and

leadership opportunities, and rules and day-to-day

practices that support and encourage healthy behaviors
are all critical factors.
Students do better in school when they are
emotionally and physically healthy. They miss fewer
classes, are less likely to engage in risky or antisocial
behavior, concentrate more, and achieve higher test
scores. Unfortunately, too many students go to class in
less than optimal health.

Benefits of Healthy Schools
School health can effectively improve both health
and education outcomes, and help students to be
healthy, lifelong learners.
Healthy schools also support the development of many
student competencies, such as critical thinking, problem
solving, decision making, personal management,
collaboration, and leadership.
• Enhanced physical, mental and social health of the
whole school community

schoolyard

partnerships

Benefits of Living in a Healthy Community
