The Learning Center at Frank Jewett School

The Learning Center (TLC) is an off campus school located next to Buxton Center Elementary School at the old Frank Jewett School. The Learning Center focuses on developing the whole student both academically and as a person. Besides core educational courses, (English, Math, Science and Social Studies) students at TLC are involved in Service Education, Enrichment programs, team building and other relationship building activities.Typically students who have had struggles in mainstream education have met with success at TLC. We have identified the following types of students who seem to thrive in our setting:

• Students who suffer from school anxiety and being lost in the large school setting.

• Students whose struggles are not caused by attendance or behavioral issues.

• Students who need strong adult/student relationships to help them succeed

Note: The Learning Center is in general reserved for students who have not had successful experiences at the High School, however, any student who we believe could benefit from our educational approach is welcomed to inquire about attending.
