Welcome to TLC
The Learning Community School provides an outstanding education for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The unique needs of each child are met through experiential learning, visual and performing arts, outdoor education, service, and challenging academics paired with an emphasis on social and emotional intelligence.
We engage all community members in strong academics and the arts through dynamic teaching and transformative experiences in a supportive outdoor learning environment.
MULTI-GRADE ACADEMICS
We create learning experiences where students can be challenged to their full academic potential. At TLC a 5th grade student can take 7th grade math while working with their peers in language arts, community with multi-age classrooms, a team-building curriculum that is integrated throughout each school day, all-school activities, and parent involvement.
OUTDOOR LEARNING
Exploring science by our pond, reading literature under the trees, and discovering math in nature are just a few of the ways that our students take learning outdoors. By blending core academic studies with the examination of the environment, we nurture a child’s natural curiosity, helping them see their place in the world and the potential they have to make a difference.
