WHAT ARE PERFORMANCE LEARNING CENTERS®?

PLCs are small, non-traditional high schools geared toward students who are not succeeding in the traditional school setting. They create a business-like environment and emphasize personal support and an intense academic program anchored by an online instructional system and project-based learning. PLCs were funded through the help of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, private foundations and businesses.

Performance Learning Centers work to focus students not just on graduation, but life and education beyond high school. Preparation for college and a career are the standards of success for PLCs. PLC students are encouraged to start actively planning their future and take the steps necessary to make their plans a reality.

There are 21 PLCs in Georgia and they have been expanded to other states in the CIS network.
