Community Learning Center

Appleton Central’s Community Learning Center (CLC) is designed to meet the academic, social and behavioral needs of students, in grades 6-8 who have been administratively placed in the program.  

The required hours of attendance are:  Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

The curriculum is focused on the core subject areas of Mathematics, ELA, Science and Social Studies tailored to meet the student's’ grade level and his/her academic needs. The goal is to cover material that the student would be exposed to within their home school classes. Age-appropriate volunteer opportunities may be scheduled, as well as occasional fitness activities.  

The culture and climate of the program provides increased opportunities for attention to social and behavioral needs within the classroom. Students will also participate in individual and/or group work with the school social worker and professional counselor.  

Students will be required to follow established goals, follow all school rules and district expectations and meet the requirements of their expulsion, withdrawal agreements or school contract to remain enrolled. CLC prepares students to successfully return to their home school when academic and/or behavioral goals are met.
