About Us

Mid-Valley Learning Center began in 1995 in the home of Joan Craig of Jefferson, Oregon. Joan started with 5 students and soon the students outgrew her home. To provide tutorial services to the growing numbers of students in this area, she began Mid-Valley Learning Center in Albany, Oregon in 1998. In 1999 Joan started a private school for children with dyslexia and other learning disabilities.

Mid-Valley Learning Center is a non-profit private alternative school which is state approved, providing Century 21 classes for both full-time and part-time students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities in grades K-12.

Tutorial services are available for all ages and in all academic areas.

Mid-Valley Learning Center staff members are qualified teachers, trained in the newest educational developments in teaching children with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. Mid-Valley uses well researched and successful methods.

Mission

It is the mission of MVLC to aide children with  dyslexia and other Language Learning Differences to recognize their gifts, understand their weaknesses, and take advantage of their unique learning style. It is our mission to make learning a joyful experience so that children will become intrinsically motivated to learn and parents will be happy with their children's progress.

Philosophy

• We teach our students to recognize, understand and take advantage of their own learning styles.

• We create a learning environment in which children can experience success and regain confidence.

• We make learning fun, engaging, and appropriate to their individual learning styles and needs, thereby helping students become motivated intrinsically to learn.

• We use the latest research and technology to address the problems of a variety of learning disabilities.

• We give children the tools to enjoy successful learning throughout life.

• We meet the individual learning needs and interests of students by keeping class size small.
