The Learning Community | a public charter school building teacher leaders, student leaders and community leaders
			Our Approach
	Our Approach Join Us Directions Home		The Learning Community features a distinctive academic program based on: nationally-researched practices in literacy, a professional and engaged faculty, outstanding parent involvement and a climate of innovation, rigor and community. Our comprehensive literacy program forms the core of our curriculum, setting the foundation for all content areas. Students study what it means to be a good reader, writer and scientist - and they emulate those strategies. Our classrooms use an innovative workshop structure to teach writing, reading and math across all grade levels. Our curriculum also includes explicit instruction in oral literacy - speaking, listening, dialogue and debate - even in kindergarten. At The Learning Community, students see themselves as independent learners with important stories to tell. As a teaching and learning laboratory, we welcome the local and national community into our exploration of literacy and leadership. Learning Community faculty and staff are deeply committed to teaching and to supporting students and To learn more, download a brief overview of our school or contact us to arrange a visit.
