Healthy Schools Program

Children’s National Medical Center’s Healthy Schools Program partners with the District of Columbia Public Schools, Department of Health, and Physical Education and Athletics to improve the health and well-being of children in the District of Columbia.

The program uses the a community-driven nutrition and physical activity curriculum created by Children's to bring a science-based health and fitness component directly into schools to change behaviors and influence youth to make lifelong healthy eating and fitness decisions.

Health and physical education teachers are trained on the curriculum and integrate the lessons into their already existent curriculum for pre-K through 5th grades.
