What is Community Education?
Community Education, the educational philosophy that underlies community schools, advocates the creation of opportunities for community members individuals, schools, businesses, and public and private organizations to become partners in addressing community needs. Community Education is most easily recognized in the community school, a facility that is open beyond the traditional school day for the purpose of providing academic, recreation, health, social service, and work-preparation programs for people of all ages.
Our goal is to encourage parental involvement in student academic achievement and strengthen partnerships with parents, teachers, administrators, school personnel and the community in meeting the educational needs of children.
