Our Grantees
Learn Charter
Founded in 2001, LEARN is an innovative network of tuition-free, high performing college prep public elementary schools open to all students. The first time a family walks in, they feel the warmth and welcome that defines a LEARN school, and they discover that LEARN is unmistakably a child-centered place.
Each LEARN campus strives to build a culture of respect, high expectations, a safe and nurturing environment, commitment to the whole child and deep family involvement. Put into practice, these values foster well-rounded students ready to conquer life’s challenges.
LEARN schools are located in underserved areas, striving to provide economically under privelaged students access to a quality, well-rounded education. Depending on the campus, LEARN students experience classes including Art, Music, Technology, Spanish, Dance, Photography and Tumbling.
