The Learning Community School is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation and, as such, all donations to TLC are tax-deductible. Because TLC is an independent school, we receive no state funding and must rely on tuition fees, fundraising, and donations to pay for our operating expenses. If you would like to make a contribution to TLC, please contact our office.
