The Learning Center! is a tuition-free public charter school
that does not take a “one-size-fits-all” approach to
educating children.
Part of the growing national movement to provide choice and opportunity in
education, charter schools are empowered to create and implement
instructional methods that best suit the needs of each student. The result
of this choice is an “out-of-the-box” approach to education, promoting
innovation, higher expectations and real results. We have programs offered
by no other schools in our area, designed to enrich your child’s educational
experience and prepare them for the future.

public schools, charter schools are empowered to
