Coordinated School Health logo featuring a stylized design representing health and education collaboration.

Coordinated School Health connects health (physical, emotional, and social) with learning, through the support of families, communities, and schools working together. CSH encourages healthy lifestyles, provides needed supports to at-risk students, and helps to reduce the prevalence of health problems that impair academic success.

Coordinated School Health is not a program, but is a systematic approach to promoting student health that emphasizes needs assessment; planning based on data, sound science and analysis of gaps and redundancies in school health programming; and evaluation.

The CSH approach consists of eight major components. By definition, all Coordinated School Health Components work together to improve the lives of students and their families.
