Our Vision
The Multicultural Learning Center brings together a diverse community of learners where cultural and individual differences are the building blocks of academic, social, and intrapersonal success.
MLC Educational Program
The Multicultural Learning Center (MLC), is K-8 public charter school authorized by the Los Angeles Unified School District since 2001. The vision of MLC is “to bring together a diverse community of learners where cultural and individual differences are the building blocks of, academic, social, and intrapersonal success.” MLC achieves this vision through the school-wide implementation of a dual immersion program (Spanish/English) and a focus on global and social-emotional competencies.
The following diagrams provide a visual of MLC’s side-by-side instructional program with emphasis on Global and Social Emotional Competencies:
