• Enrollment Process at MLC

    Metropolitan Learning Center is an alternative school that is an option for all students in the Portland Metro area. Our school is a best fit for self-directed students seeking a small, inclusive school environment that includes cross-age experiences and experiential learning. MLC does not have a neighborhood boundary and enrolls students through a lottery process. Students may apply from other Districts as well. If you have not yet, we strongly encourage you to explore your neighborhood program prior to submitting an enrollment application for MLC.
