The Healthy Schools Campaign, an independent not-for-profit organization, is a leading authority on healthy school environments and a voice for people who care about our environment, our children and education. We advocate for policies and practices that allow all students, teachers and staff to learn and work in a healthy school environment.
The air children breathe, the food they eat, and they opportunities they have to be physically active shape their health and learning for a lifetime. Children spend most of their waking hours outside of home in school, where poor indoor air quality, unhealthy food choices and declining opportunities for physical activity are contributing to epidemics of childhood obesity and asthma.
Students in healthy schools experience better health and greater opportunities for academic achievement. Parents gain peace of mind, and teachers benefit from a healthier, more productive work environment. Healthy schools also use less energy, ultimately protecting our environment and promoting savings to the community.
You have the power to help make healthy schools a reality.
