Words From Our Community
“Sending our daughter to The Learning Common has been the best decision we have made in regards to her education. She loves going to school everyday! The teachers at TLC are engaging, patient and kind. The small size of the school allows for a lower student to teacher ratio, ensuring students get the attention they need while building their confidence to ask questions and participate in class discussions.”
“This was my child’s first year coming out of public school. The experience has been transformative. He is naturally curious, and has found an environment that encourages this curiosity and gives him tools that work with how he thinks. For the first time, he enjoys learning.”
“This is our first year with TLC, but it has already been life changing for our family. The boys are absolutely thriving because the creative, responsive and empathic staff understand how to teach children with learning disabilities. They are actually excited to attend school, have more self-confidence, and demonstrate better behaviour in the short time they have been with TLC. The stress level for us parents has also dropped significantly now that the boys are appropriately supported - even virtual learning was painless!”
