Learning Enrichment Center
at The Palmas Academy
The Learning Enrichment Center at The Palmas Academy is designed to support students with unique learning needs while complementing their regular academic program in a supportive and nurturing environment. We provide an educational alternative for students who benefit from individualized or small-group instruction, and address the unique learning needs of students who may struggle to work independently and require extra academic support in the core subjects. Our families play an essential role within the Learning Enrichment Center and shall demonstrate a continued commitment to implementing the recommendations provided by our team of specialists in order to strengthen their child’s educational development.
The Learning Enrichment Center provides an alternative educational option for students from across the Eastern Region of Puerto Rico, grounded in the belief that every student has the right to a high-quality education. Our program is dedicated to fostering excellence in both academic and social development within a supportive environment that values each student’s unique potential.
