ABWHS (PLC) integrates the Communities In Schools’ caring philosophy and approach, emphasizing strong personal relationships between staff and students and a dedicated focus on academic achievement. Communities In Schools employs a proven community development model to support education by harnessing the existing resources of communities around children, families, and schools. This creates a support system that helps young people realize their full potential and take responsibility for their future.
The Performance Learning Center offers a business-like environment that challenges students to complete assignments using an online, computer-based curriculum (EDGENUITY), supported by specially trained and certified teachers who serve as learning facilitators. Additionally, PLC students can access mentors, internships, and job shadowing opportunities.
