Academics

The learning experience at Centers of Learning balances discipline with creative expression and encourages excellence, exploration, and thoughtful reasoning. Students are offered a solid, experienced-based curriculum that stresses fundamentals, and enables them to use their creativity and imagination. Field trips and projects are used to extend and apply the knowledge gained in the classroom setting.

The Elementary School program creates a firm foundation for academic, physical, spiritual and social growth. It encourages each student to progress at his or her own pace in both reading and mathematics. Field trips, creative projects and research are used to extend and solidify learning, and to give students creative expression.

In Middle School, students are exposed to an increasingly mature environment. Projects, field trips, research, hands-on and fun-filled activities are still a major part of the academic program, but are coupled with lecture and discussion on a more sophisticated level. The Junior High School program is designed to meet the needs of the students both academically and socially, as social needs are increasingly important at this time of life.

The goal of the Senior High School is to prepare students to live fruitful lives, therefore the Senior High School concentrates on preparation for college, preparation for career, and the preparation of character. The curriculum of the upper school is designed to meet college entrance requirements of California junior colleges, California state colleges, the University of California or other private universities. Graduates of Centers of Learning are well prepared for the demands of both college and career.
