Lake Oswego Learning Center for Home Schooling Parents and Students
Looking for a Well-Rounded Education
“We strongly believe that by giving a child time to explore learning in a way that fits their individual needs, we can foster their love for learning. This in turn allows it to occur more quickly as well as be more enjoyable. We also believe that children demonstrate earlier academic success when they have an active caregiver in their education. We value these partnerships and believe it to foster habits that allow the freedom to lead productive happy lives with enough character to help others along the way.”
Overview
The Lake Oswego Learning Center is a newly formed educational model that is quickly gaining speed. While our program is new, the highly successful hybrid concept of taking a home-based education and giving it a classroom model with peers is not new. It gives the student control to learn at their own pace, with the freedom to excel, and keeps the parents at the helm.
Our main goal is to keep the many benefits of a home-education, while providing a more traditionally academic environment where children can benefit from group projects and presentations, have time for play and exercise, demonstrate intellectual and emotional growth, and enjoy social relationships consistently year after year with the same peers.
