Community Learning Center

The Community Learning Centers (CLC) mission is to meet the needs of the whole child, strengthen families, and steward community resources through trusted partnerships. As a department of the Sioux Falls School District we are committed to strengthening connections between schools, families and the community. As part of this mission, we run a collaborative program of out-of-school time and summer enrichment programs within school buildings, serving thousands of kids throughout the district.

Community Learning Centers (CLCs) serve as safe, structured environments within neighborhood schools, offering academic enrichment, tutoring, mentoring, and programs in science, technology, arts, sports, and community connections. These opportunities not only extend learning beyond the classroom  but also help students improve their academic performance, attitudes towards school, and overall chances of graduating.
