For many, schools represent a safe haven, the center of the community where children develop and grow. Students, faculty and staff increasingly seek out academic facilities that support not only their intellectual needs, but also their mental, physical and emotional health. By the time a student graduates high school, they will have spent more than 15,000 hours in a school, which is the second longest indoor exposure time after their home. WELL can help ensure that those hours are spent in a safe, healthy and productive environment.

Whether it’s with WELL Certification, WELL Health-Safety Rating, WELL Equity Rating or WELL at scale,  educational institutions can use WELL to optimize space for health, productivity, creativity and collaboration over time. For leaders who value verified performance, prioritize risk management and want to make a highly visible commitment to health and well-being, WELL is an invaluable roadmap.

WELL features will help your school or school district tackle health challenges like childhood obesity and respiratory illnesses caused by inadequate ventilation systems or mold. Just by addressing these factors, your school can support cognitive improvements, lower the risk of asthma in children, and promote healthier food choices. In addition, all WELL programs include features designed to address mental health by emphasizing mental health services, integrating nature into building design, promoting physical activity and more.

We recognize and applaud the important mission-driven work that school systems are doing around the world. We want to encourage and enable all schools to implement WELL. To help all students have access to the benefits of WELL, we offer a 35% discount on pricing, whether you’re enrolling one school or an entire district.
