Abstract	This study examines the implementation of the Whole School Approach (WSA) at Citi Global College and its impact on holistic student development. Addressing challenges like fragmented implementation and integration gaps, it evaluates WSA’s effectiveness in fostering cognitive, socio-emotional, and life skills development while assessing its influence on leadership, school environment, and community partnerships. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data from 80 faculty and 280 students revealed strong WSA implementation but highlighted areas needing improvement, such as parental involvement and real-world skill application. A significant correlation emerged between WSA and student outcomes, particularly in cognitive and life skills. Differences in faculty and student perceptions underscored the need for aligned leadership and greater student participation. The study proposes a framework to enhance WSA implementation, contributing insights to improve CITI Global College’s student development initiatives.
