What is a High Performance School?

Good teachers and motivated students can overcome inadequate facilities and perform at a high level almost anywhere, but a well-designed facility can truly enhance performance and make education more enjoyable and rewarding. Students and teachers shouldn't have to fight against their own classrooms to have a productive learning experience. We want all schools to be:

Healthy
Comfortable
Energy Efficient
Material Efficient
Easy to Maintain and Operate
Commissioned
Environmentally Responsive Site
A Building That Teaches
Safe and Secure
Community Resource
Stimulating Architecture
Adaptable to Changing Needs

Check out some of CHPS' most popular resources for designing, constructing and operating high performance schools.
