Learning Lab

After School Program
Our after-school academic enrichment program focuses on Math, Reading, Science, the Arts, and Character Development. Each student works with a laptop computer that is downloaded with educational software at their skill level. The core academic subjects are woven into all lessons so students learn how reading, math and science work together. The Learning Lab is an official Area Learning Center of the Minneapolis Public Schools.
