The Learning Community | a public charter school
building teacher leaders, student leaders and community leaders
Directions
There are all kinds of ways to get involved in our vibrant community of learners.
visit
We welcome visitors to our classrooms and our school. We consider learning a community endeavor, so we work to develop partnerships with families, community leaders and our neighbors. Our lobby is an informal cafe encouraging parents and visitors to linger and talk. To arrange a visit contact Tyson Gravier at tyson@thelearningcommunity.com
enroll
Students from Central Falls, Pawtucket and Providence enroll at The Learning Community through an annual lottery. The first step in the enrollment process is to visit the school and fill out a lottery application. We hold open houses for prospective parents every spring. To learn more, contact Maria Duque at maria@thelearningcommunity.com or 722-9967.
volunteer

We are also host to college interns, academic courses, fieldwork placements and volunteers. To find out more contact Kath Connolly at 722-1938 or kath@thelearningcommunity.com
