What is a Smaller Learning Community?
A Smaller Learning Community (SLC) is like a school within a school, where knowing and being known matter. A SLC provides the following opportunities:
- A more personalized and flexible learning environment
- Continuation of West Senior High School's rich and robust academic and enrichment offerings
- Focused instruction around a student's interests and learning styles
- Teams of teachers across subject areas work together to enhance individual student learning
- Rigorous, relevant, and individualized learning (projects, internships, advisory programs)
- Peer mentoring to enhance relationships and learning
Smaller Learning Communities offer students the benefits of a small school learning environment while continuing to provide the diverse and rich curriculum and extracurricular opportunities of a larger school.
