Our Staff

Centers of Learning's talented staff is dedicated to provide a broad learning experience that paves the way for success at each level, from preschool through high school. We are proud of the commitment of these individuals, some of whom have taught at Centers of Learning for twenty years and who bring their rich and unique backgrounds to their students. In addition, we are proud to have five Centers of Learning alumni who have chosen to return to Centers of Learning as teachers.

Communication

Communication between staff and students and staff and parents is a key in our working effectively as a school community. We encourage parents to freely communicate with classroom teachers and school staff, as our collaboration together helps create a foundation of success for each student.

Growing Traditions

School traditions are an important part of campus life. As our school community continues to grow, so do the traditions which we hope will provide a lifetime of memories. In addition to our annual Bible celebrations, school traditions which nurture school spirit are: morning flag salute, recognition of students' birthdays, annual Science Fair, school fundraising activities such as the magazine drive and annual Walk-A-Thon, student council elections, Spirit Days, annual Thanksgiving celebration and alumni football game, annual Elementary Musical, and student council activities and dances.

Year-End Class Trips

Yearly, each elementary class and the 8th and 12th grades take year-end field trips that correspond to their studies. Each class participates in fundraising activities throughout the year to sponsor the trip. Elementary classes visit such historical sites as Sequoia, Death Valley, the Channel Islands, Sacramento, San Simeon, and the Rogue River in Oregon. Junior High and High School trips have included King's Canyon, Sequoia, Yosemite, British Columbia, Ireland, Hawaii, Washington D.C., New York City, Mexico, and Brazil.

School Campus

Centers of Learning is situated on a safe and beautiful campus, featuring a soccer field, running track, swimming pool, basketball and volleyball court. In addition, the campus offers courtyard areas where students can study or eat lunch. A separate music room is equipped for both instruments and choir, as well as dance. Campus expansion plans include a library and a performing arts facility, as well as additional classrooms.

Our Alumni

As part of Centers of Learning's mission to provide an atmosphere where lifelong relationships are established, many of our alumni still maintain close contact with us, even though they are busy pursuing varied careers and educational goals. We hold an annual Alumni Night at which our past graduates welcome the new graduating class into their ranks. Such times allow past and present students to strengthen their relationships, share experiences, and honor the new graduates. Our alumni are also a strong force in creating the curriculum through their input, suggestions, guest visits and continued support of Centers of Learning.
