Military Families
In appreciation, TLCI provides a 5% tuition discount to military families.
TLCI Offers Flexibility, Consistency, and Stability for Military Families.
According to the Department of Defense, the average child in a military family will move six to nine times during their school career. On average, a military child will move three times more frequently than a nonmilitary child. This can create a series of difficult transitions for the military child.
Homeschooling is growing among military families. Homeschooling offers stability and a pathway for consistently meeting the educational needs of military children. Of the 1.2 million children of active-duty military parents, more than six percent are home-schooled, according to estimates by the Military Child Education Coalition. This means that approximately 35,100 – 39,000 school-aged children with parents in the military are currently being homeschooled.
As a private school – home education fusion program, The Learning Community International provides a comprehensive educational program with personalized support and guidance for parents. With TLCI, families have the flexibility of homeschool, including the ability to customize the curriculum, and the support and rigor associated with a robust educational program. TLCI is unique: this combination of individualized learning plans combined with extensive support for learners and their families is not found in homeschooling alone or with traditional distance learning programs.

The TLCI Leadership has Military Connections
TLCI Principal Director and Founder, Manfred Smith, was a military child: his father was a WWII veteran. Executive Director, Nancy De Luca Stempel, is a US Army veteran, her father was a Korean Conflict veteran and Purple Heart recipient, and her son-in-law is an active duty Marine.
Together, they offer their heartfelt appreciation to all veterans and active-duty US Military members and their families for their service to our country. In appreciation, TLCI provides a 5% tuition discount to military families.
