Comprehensive School Wellness Program

WSCC Model

Healthy students are better learners. Schools play a critical role in promoting the health and safety of young people and helping them establish lifelong healthy behaviors.

Establishing healthy behaviors during childhood is easier and more effective than trying to change unhealthy behaviors throughout adulthood. When school health policies and practices are put in place, healthy students can grow to achieve a lifetime of good health.

The Comprehensive School Wellness (CSW) Program at ADE is a team of school health specialists dedicated to supporting schools across the state in creating healthy learning environments utilizing the collaborative Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model.
