About Our Schools

The TLC Leadership Academies encompass a dynamic network of schools and programs, including accredited and licensed private academic schools (LPAS), Alternative Education for Disruptive Youth (AEDY) institutions, and specialized in-school programs. 

While some of our schools, like TLC’s Multi-District Connections and Choices programs, serve multiple districts, others are tailored to specific districts, such as Choices @ Norristown, Choices @ Coatesville, and Connections @ Chester Upland. 

Our academies are dedicated to maintaining high academic standards in a safe, small school setting, prioritizing both academic excellence and social-emotional development, with a strong focus on leadership and social skills.

Academic Programming

Implementing TLC’s Transformational Education® model, we provide individualized student success plans in small classes (12:1 student-to-staff ratio). Our rigorous academic curriculum is aligned with state standards and incorporates hands-on learning opportunities and project-based learning methods. Our state-of-the-art facility includes learning labs for students to utilize in a dynamic Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) environment.

Coaching & Counseling

Providing leadership coaching, as well as individual and group counseling, our programming offers opportunities and tools for students to develop leadership, problem-solving, and strategic thinking skills. Counselors promote a climate that fosters integrity, honesty, communication, and motivation. We strive to instill self-confidence and drive in our students so they can reach their full potential.

College & Career Readiness

Our unique educational coaching program is designed to inspire, motivate, and educate students in 21st-century skills. We integrate a leadership curriculum alongside our core classes and offer comprehensive college and career counseling. Apprenticeship opportunities are also available for high school students who want a high-quality career pathway.

Community Engagement

Connecting with the community provides students with valuable cultural learning experiences. We offer frequent off-campus service learning opportunities to help students develop empathy and critical thinking skills while addressing genuine community needs.
