Changing lives by educating and empowering young people, one life at a time.

Learning Center

Our private school, KLD Learning Center, is open to both at-risk and high-achieving students in grades K-12. Its focus is on challenged learners--those children with specific learning disabilities or those who cannot perform to their fullest potential in the customary public-school setting. Our at-risk children come with various disadvantages, including learning disabilities; Down Syndrome; arrest records; intense emotional trauma, severe medical issues (involving parents or the children themselves); and broken, impoverished, or transient homes. They are children who are often left behind educationally or socially. In our school, they have the opportunity to learn in individualized, small teaching environments and to participate in structured outside-of-school programs. Offering real-world learning and the enrichment and stimulation necessary to develop intellect, creativity, academic achievement, and social skills, KLD Learning Center helps all of our students prepare for purposeful lives and reach their fullest potential. The school is also open to the public for exceptional education, tutoring, and mentoring in the outside-of-school hours.

Opening in 2006 with 20 students, today our enrollment is near 100 students. Our teaching staff has grown to 10 teachers. KLD Learning Center is supported by special state funds for children with learning disabilities (McKay Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program), corporate grants, and private donations.
