Center for Community Learning

  •  MISSION STATEMENT
    The Center for Community Learning is a group of adult and student learners who believe that education is a vital link in preparing students for life in the 21st century. We commit to working with families and community members to support the personal, academic and career growth of every student. We believe that students must have a common core of knowledge, a set of skills to effectively utilize that knowledge, and an understanding of our responsibilities to ourselves and others in order to participate effectively in a global society.
