Tuesday was an exciting day at the Academy of World Languages in Evanston. Students, teachers, faculty, along with community members and leaders walked through the doors of the Schiff Wellness Center for the first time.
It’s a $2.5 million project that took years to complete.
The 5,500-square foot facility was funded primarily with private donations. The health center houses vision, dental, primary, and mental health. There is also space for community events. It’s a part of Cincinnati Public Schools Community Learning Centers initiative aimed at engaging community partnerships in schools.
“It is absolutely amazing,” Community Learning Center Institute Executive Director Darlene Kamine said. “We want to make sure they are healthy and that there are no barriers for them to be able to achieve their dreams.”
