Values
We believe that life long learning is an integral part of everyone's life. All SLC classes are developed to reinforce academic skills, promote work readiness and enhance social interaction.
Team
Our success at SLC is entirely due to the dynamic, caring and excellent team members who put their skill, hearts and devotion into creating the most social, engaging and fulfilling college experience for our students.
Four Basic Principles
These four basic principles are the foundation of our educational program:
-
Everybody has the capacity to learn.
-
Learning continues throughout life, without stopping.
-
Through learning, people continue to grow, develop and flourish.
-
The most effective learning requires the best teachers with thoughtfully developed courses, held in a respectful, supportive and stimulating environment.
