What is a Performance Learning Center (PLC)?
The Performance Learning Center is a small, non-traditional high school geared toward students who are not succeeding in a traditional school setting. The PLC creates a business-like learning environment where students complete assignments using online, computer-based curriculum with the assistance of learning facilitators. The PLC also utilizes project-based learning, service learning, job shadowing, internships, mentoring, and dual enrollment with technical and four-year colleges. The PLC can be located in off-campus or detached centers, or within an existing school. The PLC is a small school model and generally has 75-150 students.
