Organization Description

Mt. Scott Learning Centers serves students whose academic needs are not met in traditional classroom environments. We are certified by the Oregon Department of Education to provide full-day academic services to students referred to us by area school districts. Typically our students are low-income and come from a diverse range of social and ethnic backgrounds. Our primary financial support is provided through contracts with the school districts of students we serve. Families do not pay tuition.

Mt. Scott Learning Centers achieves success with most enrolled students who previously struggled academically and/or socially in traditional environments. Mt. Scott started in 1994 with summer academic programs for southeast Portland youth in the Mt. Scott Park Presbyterian Church. We now operate a middle school of up to 50 students and a high school (Mt. Scott High School) of another 80 students. Our model involves small classroom sizes, integrated curriculum, single gender classrooms, and hands-on experiential learning.

Mt. Scott Learning Centers is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to workplace diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, class, gender, religion or sexual preference. We comply with the federal ADA act.
