THE LEARNING CLUB IN HIGHLAND PARK We are working to be a pivotal force in Highland Park by addressing the educational needs of the community. The Learning Club provides individual and small group tutoring to children in general academic subjects; after-school and summer programming; and weekend project-based activities. The overriding philosophy of The Learning Club in Highland Park is that any child can learn at the level of his or her intellectual, social, and emotional continuum of development. Services at The Learning Club in Highland Park - The Enhanced Learning System is our learning support program for students falling behind, or students wishing to get ahead. From our intimate connection to your child's school, the use of technology at various steps of the learning process, and our use of a child's interests in determining resources procurement, our process is comprehensive. By triangulating the student's interests and needs to the resources of the center; applying the curriculum to state standards; building relationships with the child's school; and storing all of the information in several database modules, The Learning Club in Highland Park provides a service and a source of information that is currently unmatched by any organization in the Pittsburgh area. - Learning Clubs are multidisciplinary classes centered on topics of interests to youth. This summer, we offered The Book Club, The Math Club, and The 1600 Club (centered on vocabulary building, test, and study skills). Each club accommodates 10 students per session. The clubs are designed around Pittsburgh Public School standards, as well as linked to the National Standards in a variety of disciplines. Further, each project includes literacy, math, science, and technology. Participants are admitted into the clubs on a first-come, first-served basis. GET YOUR CLUBS OUT AND GET READY TO GOLF Education Innovations, Inc. is a nonprofit organization and relies on the support of the community to carry out its educational mission. Join us for our first fundraiser on October 3rd. Part of the proceeds will go toward The Fulton Project, our strategy for assisting Fulton Academy, Highland Park's local public elementary school.
