Whole School • Whole Community • Whole Child
​​The focus of the WSCC model is an ecological approach that is directed at the whole school, with the school in turn drawing its resources and influences from the whole community and serving to address the needs of the whole child. ASCD and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) encourage use of the model as a framework for improving students' learning and health in our nation's schools.

• Responding to the call for greater alignment, integration, and collaboration between education and health to improve each child's cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development.
• Incorporating the components of a coordinated school health program around the tenets of a whole child approach to education.
• Providing a framework to address the symbiotic relationship between learning and health.​
