Overview

Teaching at the Learning Center.

The Olive Branch Learning Center is a project of Olive Branch Preparatory School, Inc. The Learning Center offers high-quality instructional courses in all core subjects, plus enrichment courses, to homeschooling students and families in grades K–5.

Olive Branch courses are designed to be unique in their alignment with the mission and vision of the organization, promoting high-caliber, hands-on, real-world knowledge and skills. We believe that children will surprise us with how much they can thrive and excel when the right ingredients are present in the learning environment, and teachers are the backbone of that environment. We believe in the great potential of every child in Deen and Dunya, and we hope you will join us in nurturing and drawing out this amazing potential.

Our promise to teachers: paid planning time equal to your hours of instructional time, because excellent teaching deserves room to breathe.
