This means that TLC students take their core classes (reading, writing, math) in The Learning Center, and then spend the other 50% of their school day with mainstream students in enrichment and elective classes, at lunch and recess, in after-school clubs and our no-cut sports.
TLC students also join their mainstream peers on overnight field trips and in our all-school events like Food Truck Friday, Pumpkin Carving at Halloween, or the traditional Thanksgiving Feast. TLC students are not stigmatized or made to feel different from their mainstream peers at ACDS; they are instead integrated with mainstream students into the life of the school.
