The Perry Learning Center is committed to shaping future leaders through meaningful educational partnerships and delivering cutting-edge instruction tailored for 21st-century learners. Our core philosophy revolves around rigorous academics, relevant curriculum, and nurturing respectful relationships between students and educators. We understand that every student learns differently, which is why we offer flexible block scheduling, empowering students to earn additional course credits within a single academic year. This innovative approach provides a crucial pathway for students who may have faced academic challenges to stay on track for graduation, often allowing them to graduate with their original class or very soon after. Remarkably, many of our motivated students leverage this flexibility to graduate up to 6 to 12 months ahead of schedule. We celebrated the success of 160 graduates just last year, a testament to our effective methods and dedicated support.
Our Perry Learning Center campus boasts a state-of-the-art learning environment, fully equipped with advanced 21st-century classroom technology to enhance the learning experience. Furthermore, our unique dual enrollment Career Academy, in collaboration with Atlanta Technical College, presents students with a diverse selection of career-focused courses taught by Atlanta Technical College’s experienced instructors. We invite you to visit us and experience the Perry Pride firsthand!
