What is a
transformational
community school?

CLICK FOR PRESENTATION MATERIAL & INFORMATIONAL LINKS
A community school is created with the community.

A community school is a process not a product. And sometimes it is not even a place because school choice and busing means children may not live in the neighborhood where they go to school.

People support what they create.

Buy-in is critical. 

Self-selection for the process to apply a proven framework is necessary for sustanable commitment. When a community school is forced in and mandated it will not show student growth or long-term community commitment.
A community school is both a place and a set of partnerships between the school and other community resources.
A transformational community school model hits all elements of  school health and climate.

• Lowering absenteeism, less mobility
• Enhanced focus on child-centered teaching and learning
• Parent and community engagement
• Engaged after school activities
• Positive discipline approaches such as restorative practices, social emotional learning and character education
• Shared leadership philosophy with the district, educators and families

• Wrap-around supports such as healthcare, eye care and mental health services
• Strengthening curriculum with AP, IB, Enrichment, Music, Arts, STEAM, College AP/Dual Enrollment, Quality Remediation

Using an AROS model deep-needs approach, a transformational school integrates focus on academics, youth development, family support, health and social services and community development which leads to improved student learning, stronger families and healthier communities.
