- Understanding that education and health outcomes are closely interrelated, our model supports the whole student from elementary school through high school and beyond school-based health care paired with our afterschool enrichment programs and post-secondary educational opportunities that currently serves more than 200 high school students in the 21st Century Afterschool Program at one of those schools.
