| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | The Learning Center provides math, reading and science programming to students in 1st through 12th grades. Our programming is unique because our students are grouped according to their skill level and not their grade level, providing an opportunity to place a laser focus on skill development within a small group setting. College Coaching The program enables its participants and families to gain valuable information about attending college, as well as structured strategies for obtaining necessary resources to attend college. Our focus is middle and high school students with a strong focus on improving and maintaining high academic performance. Students practice writing a resume, cover letter, and personal essay, and are encouraged to apply for camps and summer experiences to increase their marketability to colleges and provide insight into particular career areas.
