Caring School Community

The Caring School Community (CSC) program is a nationally recognized, research-based K–6 program that builds classroom and schoolwide community.

It focuses on strengthening students’ connectedness to school—an important element for increasing academic motivation and achievement and for reducing drug use, violence, and delinquency. The U.S. Department of Education has recently highlighted the Caring School Community program’s research base and effectiveness.
