Our approach to education:
Peripheral education programs provide a holistic educational approach that supports students' social, emotional, physical, and life skill development outside the traditional academic curriculum. These programs are crucial for the overall development of children and emphasize social skill development and inclusion, enhanced self-esteem and confidence, physical and cognitive health, life skills and independence, exploration of interests and talents, and support for families.
Ultimately, peripheral education programs ensure that students are not defined solely by their academic achievements or challenges, but are given every opportunity to thrive as well-rounded individuals within an inclusive community.
Our History:
The TLH Enrichment Foundation was established to support The Learning Habitat, an education organization designed to provide flexible schooling options, particularly for neurodivergent or differently abled children in Charlotte, North Carolina. Education is not a one-size-fits-all model and recent changes in state law have enabled parents to choose the best education system for their own children.
The Learning Habitat came from the premise that all children are capable of learning, can achieve great things and have unique abilities and strengths. It officially opened in September of 2022 with approximately 45 homeschooled students enrolled in part-time classes. Initially, The Learning Habitat solely focused on homeschooled students and offered a la carte classes. Since then, it has grown into a private school with many more full-time students enrolled in grades K - 12.
The TLH Enrichment Foundation was established in 2025 as a means to bring additional programming and support to The Learning Habitat Community without creating additional financial burden for students and their families. Through fundraising, grants, and corporate partnerships, The TLH Enrichment Foundation will bring ancillary programs designed to enhance the experience of The Learning Habitat’s students, families, and staff.
Vision Statement:
An educational environment in which all children can learn and develop their unique abilities and strengths to achieve great things.
Mission Statement:
We provide financial support to enrich an inclusive educational environment that empowers children of varying abilities to succeed.
