Secondary Learning Center is a unique independent academic school for grades 7-12. We strive for excellence through daily practice in a structured and supportive setting. We believe that sharing ideas and relating within a humane environment cultivates maximum growth.
Our keen interest in teenagers embodies the core and integrity of the program. We care about how teens think, what they think, and why they think it.
Secondary Learning Center exists to promote and support the learning of essential academic skills. Our purpose is to educate our students through a variety of classroom experiences so that creativity, cooperation and community all flourish.
Secondary Learning Center teaches all students a standard, core curriculum striving to find a balance between the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. We help students become independent thinkers and resourceful and fearless lifelong learners.
