About the Chester County Learning Center

The Learning Center is a middle school/high school that serves students ages 13-21 with a variety of disabilities that range from developmental to emotional and behavioral concerns. There are 2 main programs within the Learning Center:

Options/Options Plus:
The Options Program works with students experiencing mental health issues who demonstrate an interest and desire to learn but who are reluctant to receive mental health services.

These students are provided the skills to work cooperatively with their peers. They learn to deal with everyday issues at their ability level and the educational staff provides individual attention in support of both academic and behavioral programming. 

Students in the Options program may need assistance to develop strategies to help:

• Manage their behavior
• Meet learning objectives
• Maintain emotional stability
• Accept mental health services
• Overcome drug and alcohol issues
