The Center for Teaching and Learning, a K-8 independent school in Edgecomb, will hold a Middle School Open House at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 11. Families interested in learning more about CTL’s middle school program are invited to tour the school, meet the faculty, and participate in a question and answer session. 

CTL serves up to 75 children in five groupings: K, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8. CTL draws students from nearly twenty towns to create a loving, close-knit community of families who are committed to excellence in education.

CTL was founded in 1990 by Global Teacher Prize winner Nancie Atwell. The school is a non-profit organization accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). CTL is also a demonstration school, training teachers through internships, seminars, published writing by the faculty, and professional DVDs. 

The school is known locally and nationally for its award-winning teaching, research-based methods, outreach to teachers across the United States, relationships of trust between faculty and parents, respect for children, and a program that engages students, challenges them, and prepares them for life beyond CTL. In addition, CTL kids love coming to school every day.

Applications for the 2023-24 school year are due by Feb. 15, as are tuition assistance applications.
