ABOUT CLCs

What are Community Learning Centres?

Community Learning Centres (CLCs) are community schools that serve as hubs for English-language communities—improving access to services, strengthening connections, and supporting community vitality. They are intentionally structured to coordinate partnerships between schools, families, and community organizations and to mobilize community resources to strengthen learning, well-being, and belonging.

Québec’s English school network adopted the community school strategy in 2006 through the Community Learning Centre (CLC) Initiative.

Today, more than 95 English-language schools across Québec are part of the CLC Initiative.

Each community school develops its own vision and strategies in response to local needs, working in partnership with families and community organizations.
