Safe Schools Pyramid lines
The Center for the Prevention of School Violence's Safe Schools Pyramid reflects the Center's view that schools must be comprehensive yet individual in their approaches to solving the problem of school violence. The strategies which comprise the Safe Schools Pyramid have been identified as "promising" because they are proactive approaches which are based upon intervention as well as prevention. Ultimately, individual schools must actively decide the most appropriate basis from which to address their specific problems of school violence. For most, a mixed philosophy of intervention and prevention will be the most promising overall approach to use.

Safe Schools Pyramid

The programs which comprise the Pyramid are student focused. The Center's work to date indicates that the most successful programs are those that are student focused. These types of programs recognize the important roles that students play in addressing the problems which exist in their own schools.

The Pyramid's programs are designed to create environments in which students can learn or to empower students themselves to address the problems which exist in their own schools. School Resource Officers (SROs) and attention paid to physical design and technology help create safe and secure learning environments while law-related education, conflict management and peer mediation, Students Against Violence Everywhere (S.A.V.E.), and Teen/Student court empower students to deal with problems which may arise.
