What is School Climate?
“ A healthy school climate involves developing a school community where all stakeholders including students embrace a shared set of essential values and a clearly defined vision. It encompasses the way things are done and is a reflection of the values, beliefs, decision-making, and cultural and ethnic differences of school personnel, students, parents, and others involved in the school community.”
