Who we are:

 
The Norwalk Housing Authority Learning Centers offer students from first through twelfth grades an exceptional slate of after school programs designed to educate children through inspiration. Education, computer/web technology, creative expression, community awareness and sports all play a part in this unique program.

Daily homework assistance and special tutoring in math, reading and writing is offered for all students. Science and social studies support is added into the expanded after school curriculum for middle school and high school students. Trips to museums, theaters and local events are a regular part of the program. Special celebrations and seasonal events are also planned.
