Congratulations to the Friends Seminary in New York City for becoming a CHPS Verified School! The project, which included an upper story addition and minor renovations to existing spaces, achieved 97 points--exceeding the required threshold by 12 points. In addition to earning all the prerequisites, the school is designed to be 30% more energy efficient than required, demonstrates a commitment to ongoing high performance learning environments, showed excellence in managing waste generated during construction, and takes the quality of the indoor environment seriously.

As part of our strategic plan and priorities for the next three years, CHPS is seeking to double our impact. To date, we have worked with over 100 districts and more than 1,000 schools. The demand for our services is growing. With your help, we can impact more!

Today the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) released the public review draft of its Core Criteria v3.0. This newest update is now open for public comment through December 10, 2018.

CHPS is always striving to meet the needs of our members and users. In response to your requests, we have updated our website to a more powerful platform with a fresher look and many new features we hope will better fit the ways we communicate, manage transactions, and collaborate to make schools the best possible learning environments with the least impact on the planet. Thank you for your continued collaboration with us!

We welcome you to check out the new site and tell us what you think!
