Community Learning Center would like to acknowledge Alma, our work study partner from Ultimate Medical Academy (UMA). Alma does art classes with our Community Learning Center Academy students and helps with many different projects around the center. She has many, many talents that have been put to use and her help is much appreciated.
Alma is studying to be a Medical Assistant at UMA and was recently designated a Student Ambassador. As a Student Ambassador, Alma is there to assist fellow students and represent the UMA program.
UMA helps their students who are studying for careers in the medical field with programs that pay UMA students for working with local non-profit businesses while they are attending classes.
The UMA students that we have had working with Community Learning Center have been an asset to our quest to improve education in the local community.
UMA offers programs in the medical field which include Dental Assistant, Medical Assistant, Certified Nursing Assistant and many more. Community Learning Center is proud to partner with UMA in helping students of all ages achieve their goals and dreams for a better future!
“Since I. started at the Community Learning Center a few weeks ago, she has been doing much better in school with math. This area has been a big struggle for her, where she averaged B’s or C’s. At home, the math homework would take over an hour for one page and usually involved a lot of upset for her.”
“When I first started in this school, I was at a 3rd grade level in math and spelling. By the end of the school year, I was at a 5th grade level in everything. I came up two whole grade levels in math and spelling! I really caught up on my grades. My favorite subject is reading. I also like geography. I have also learned percentages.”
“M. just finished his third year at the (Community) Learning Center. Bill has been his tutor for all three years and the results have been fantastic! M. maintained “honor roll” status the entire year. Out of the seven classes, he had four A’s and the rest were B’s.”
“Prior to A. starting the tutoring program, he was having great difficulty not only blending the different sounds of the words, but even just the sounds of some of the individual letters themselves. He was getting frustrated and would cry, saying that he couldn’t read and was far behind.”
“My name is J. and I recently graduated from Palm Harbor University High School. In the fall of this year I will be attending Doane University in Crete, Nebraska on full ride academic/athletic scholarship.”
Our private school is hopping with new students! Since August, we have doubled in size and we plan to triple the number of students by the new school year. We are servicing Kindergarten through 5th grade and our kids are primarily receiving scholarships through the Step Up for Students program. This program is proving very successful, as many of our students were previously attending public schools and were struggling to stay on track. These same students are now being instructed at their appropriate academic level, using effective curriculum, and are moving to the top of their class.
“I have been learning to read better and I am spelling better now. I like learning about explosions -like how they take down a building when they are getting ready to build another new building there. I like learning about volcanoes. Eruptions are cool! I like all the kids here! They are all my friends. I like going outside after lunch to play with them. That’s my favorite. We push each other around in the car, too.” M.C. (2nd grade student)
