Health Programs Programs Since 1979, the Office of School Health Programs has provided a wide range of comprehensive health education programs to New York City Public School teachers, administrators, interdisciplinary staff, parents, and students in grades kindergarten through 12. Through intensive staff development and workshops, state of the art curriculum materials, and consultation and technical assistance, the Office has worked with over 9,000 elementary and middle and high school teachers in 750 New York City public schools. After two decades of continuous expansion, the Academy's initiatives go beyond the classroom, using technology and involving students, teachers, school staff, parents, families, community based organizations, and academic medical centers. The Office of School Health Programs has built and maintains a coalition of more than forty-five private sector foundations, corporations, voluntary agencies and individuals who support the Academy's comprehensive school health programs in the New York City public schools. The Academy administers the largest public-private sector supported comprehensive health education program in the United States.
Training workshops are available for schools and communities upon request.
