May Center is committed to developing the understanding of literacy and learning differences by providing consultation and professional development to educators in New Mexico.

 

OUR VISION IS TO ACCESS AND IMPACT EVERY STUDENT WITH LEARNING DIFFERENCES IN NEW MEXICO.

May Center for Learning was founded in 2011 by Santa Fe educators Amy Miller and Karen Lindeen and the first class was offered in 2012. Since then, May Center has grown exponentially and now serves hundreds of students through its school, summer school, tutoring programs, evaluation, and May Teacher Institute.


DIVERSITY STATEMENT

The May Center for Learning is a diverse community that celebrates differences with a conviction that successful education develops basic principles such as respect and empathy. Through our programs and curriculum, we foster tolerance for differences in gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic group, religion and sexual orientation. We do not discriminate on the basis of these differences; in fact, we affirm that varying perspectives enrich the life of our educational community and the world around us.
