The goal of the Learning Center is to provide supplementary services in all of the areas where most of our students need extra support, specially reading and second language development.
Learning Center staff is also responsible of doing three reading screenings (at the beginning, middle and end of the year) from grades 1st through 5th t and to work alongside teachers to provide the best learning environment for our EIS students. It is composed by:

She works along with teachers to make the adaptation process to a new schooling experience more exiting! To do so, Laura implements in-class studying centers were she focuses on building the reading and writing skills that our first graders need to succeed in years to come.
