About Southwest Learning Centers

The Southwest Learning Centers are the first consortium of charter schools in New Mexico to utilize a vision of shared leadership and shared facilities, which enables more student-generated funds to be put into the classroom to improve instruction for all students. The shared emphasis is on content mastery, not seat time. The students, parents and teachers work together to design individual growth plans enabling an individualized curriculum tailored for each student.

In Southwest Primary Learning Center, the teachers focus on teaching reading, writing, and math in a traditional setting - while providing access to state-of-the-art technology found only on college campuses. In La Luz Del Monte and Southwest Secondary Learning Center computers are used as tools for instruction - expanding the classroom outside the four walls confining the students. Students learn and utilize technology the way the rest of the world does every day. The majority of our staff is bilingual, multi-certified, and "highly qualified" as defined by the "No Child Left Behind Act". The three schools are certified by the North Central Association as college preparatory schools. For more information, please visit www.sslc-nm.com.
