Welcome

The Learning Community School is an independent school for K-8th grade encouraging hands-on learning, outdoor education, teamwork and community engagement.

TLC is a family to me, a place that encourages individuality and emphasizes that by taking the time to get to know each child's strengths as well as areas in which they could grow. Kids are encouraged to learn in ways that make sense to them. Hands-on inquiry-based learning lets them literally take things apart (like broken-down dishwashers) and figure out how they work, rather than being told how they work and what to memorize about it. So much interaction happens across grade levels through reading buddies, science fair projects, cooperative games and even camping trips! Most of all it is a place where no one feels out of place and everyone is celebrated for their unique traits. - Tonya Clanton, former TLC teacher of 5 years
