What is CHOICE?

CHOICE Learning Center is a place where a child, along with their parents, determines their learning goals and curricula. CHOICE creates a unique learning environment for your child with the resources, peer-to-peer coaching, and games/challenges to make learning enjoyable and fruitful. Everyone learns differently. If you envision a different learning environment for your child, please consider CHOICE!
