We re-dedicate ourselves to the anti-racist movement and vow to stay vigilant as we dive deeper, engage, and step up to take greater action against systemic racism. We acknowledge that anti-racism work is an ongoing personal and professional examination. Over the years, we have strived to improve our efforts with diversity, equity, and inclusion but these efforts were not enough - we must strive to do better.
We will grow. We will learn. We will be vulnerable. We will get back up after making mistakes. We will walk the talk. We will stand up for racial justice. We will reflect on the existence of systemic and institutional racism previously unseen in order to build and nurture authentic cross-racial relationships.

History
Report
The Learning Community School was founded in 1996 by a small group of parents and a teacher from Warren Wilson College, who sought to create a cooperative school for children which integrated experiential education with outdoor education, the creative arts, and community service.
In 1998, TLC received its non-profit status and stopped operating as a cooperative, but maintained its cooperative spirit in that parents are an integral part of the community.The school was started on the very same campus that was home to the historic Black Mountain College in the 1930s - 1950s, which boasted the likes of Buckminster Fuller and Albert Einstein.

In the summer of 2000, The Learning Community School was one of the first schools in the area to adopt a new conflict mediation curriculum developed by the Asheville Mediation Center. This curriculum involves weekly lessons, exercises, games, and conflict mediation skills. The TEAM format provides a successful mechanism for handling conflicts that might arise at school.

Putting Down Roots
Report
Having our campus on the grounds of Camp Rockmont has allowed us to offer a unique outdoor experience for students in which hiking and eating lunch outside are possible. Over our 24 years at Camp Rockmont, our school has developed space, facility, and resource needs that were no longer able to be met in our space there.
