What Students are Saying
“The Learning Center has been extremely valuable to me throughout my high school career providing me with: a quiet place to work, a positive and productive atmosphere as well as an extremely supportive and encouraging environment. I have completed the majority of my work during high school in the Learning Center as it provides a sanctuary from the noise and distractions of the normal classroom. The Learning Centre has done everything possible to aid me in my learning experience and is priceless.”
“I have found the Learning Center very valuable to my education. It gives me a class that I can ask questions and get help in all the areas I need. I have access to extra time for tests that relieves the pressure I always feel and the staff help to find studying strategies that work for me.”
“The Learning Centre is a judgment free place where I feel comfortable asking questions and getting help improving my assignments and tests. I am motivated because it is a quiet and supportive environment where I can get a lot of homework done and be productive. It has helped with reducing my anxiety and stress because the teachers are supportive and motivate my to keep trying. I get one-on-one time on improving tests and working on different learning strategies.”
