MULTICULTURAL LEARNING CENTER

Multicultural Learning Center is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Canoga Park, CA with about 468 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 21 teachers, Multicultural Learning Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Multicultural Learning Center (MLC) in Canoga Park, California, is a tuition-free public charter school that emphasizes a holistic approach to education by celebrating the diverse cultural backgrounds of its students.
