The Learning Community is a K-8 public school proving poverty is not a barrier to achievement. We serve over 450 students in our school and hundreds of other teachers and students in the schools where we work as professional development partners. This work fulfills our bold mission: At The Learning Community, we believe that literacy empowers each individual to have a voice, assume community responsibility and take social action. We expect leadership at every level. We grow teacher leaders, student leaders and community leaders.
