About the Healthy Schools Partnership

The Healthy Schools Partnership is an innovative, school-based program designed to integrate a nutrition curriculum with physical education. The program uses Registered Dietitian Nutrition Coaches to motivate students, alongside PE4life teachers. Using this novel approach, HSP’s three partners – the American Council for Fitness & Nutrition Foundation, the American Dietetic Association Foundation (ADAF), and PE4life – have challenged traditional methods and revolutionized the teaching of nutrition and physical education. In addition, the HSP supports six USDA nutrition programs.
