 Our Mission:
To help students and adults achieve their highest potential.
To foster a spirit of positive thinking, and the confidence in
knowing that If one can believe, one can achieve.
Our Philosophy
EDWARDS Learning Center’s approach is grounded in an Appreciative philosophy,
where consistent and positive reinforcement through the use of
language and role modeling is woven throughout the learning experience.
The positive learning approach, along with providing incentives as a means to recognize accomplishments, allows each student to
maximize and reach his or her full potential.
 Guidelines
EDWARDS Learning Center professionals adhere to the highest standards
in the conduct of our programs and services.
We keep all relationships on a professional level, and we encourage
cooperative effort. Our students’ welfare governs all of the activities
that we undertake.
The information that we derive from working with our students
is confidential and we will not release it to others without written
consent.
We know what our programs and resources are capable of accomplishing
and we do not make promises beyond those capabilities. We try
not to accept any person who we believe is unlikely to benefit
from our assistance. And if we believe other professional services
are needed, we will recommend them for your consideration.
 Our Staff
EDWARDS Learning Center reflects its commitment to providing a
positive and professional learning environment through its hiring
process. Teachers/tutors are interviewed using the Appreciative
inquiry interview process.The appreciative interview asks questions that are geared toward finding individuals who see the good in people and student, and who strive to bring about the best
from them. As such, the faculty and staff at EDWARDS Learning Center bring with them positive behaviors and thinking styles that EDWARDS Learning wishes to highlight and impart the students and the community. EDWARDS Learning Center
