The second was that the children all looked happy. And that’s what we want to see in all of our schools.” The community school idea is based on a “develop- mental triangle” that integrates core instructional programming with academic and other enrichment and with a range of health and social services that remove barriers to learning and development (see the developmental triangle diagram). The Children’s Aid model weaves a web of support around each child while effectively involving parents in their children’s education.

Children’s Aid’s community schools are typically open 12 hours a day, five days community a week and eight hours on Saturday, which is long enough to provide students with sorely needed family academic enrichment and to enable working parents to stay involved with the school.

The richness of the community school atmosphere is a direct result of our interweaving the core academic experience with key extended services. A warm welcome by various staff members starts the day.

Approximately 9,000 schools nationally and internationally are in the process of adapting the Children’s Aid community schools model, or have already implemented their own version. “That takes into account about 7,300 adaptation sites in England alone,” states Jane Quinn. “There are five to six hundred community schools in The Nether- lands and at least a thousand in the United States.” Part of the great interest in our community schools strategy has to do with the fact that it can easily be tailored to work with particular immigrant populations. Many European countries are experiencing large waves of immigration, as are hundreds of communities in the United States. More and more partners are taking notice of the work Children’s Aid has done in New York City to welcome newcomers to our community schools and help them adjust to their adopted environment. children and families served by our community schools What we at Children’s Aid have found is that Out-of-School-Time Enrichment 9,760 the community schools concept is catching on Academics, Arts, Youth Development, everywhere because the populations of cities, states Recreation, Leadership and nations all share the same goal: We want Health Services 7,612 our children to succeed.
