Going from Reader to Leader

We know that learning works to propel learners into the future, transforming them from readers to leaders. By honing and improving the skills needed for a 21st century employee, like critical thinking, high computer proficiency and in-demand job skills, our graduates can secure their future and experience growth in the workplace.

SBLC learners come to study, but they leave with more than passing grades and a diploma: the ability to put their learning to work for life.

But don’t just take our word for it. Click here to find success stories from SBLC grads and others who say “Learning Works!” You can also find links to scholarship opportunities and other resources available to graduates and alumni here.

As we like to say, “What you learn at SBLC stays with you forever.” Do you agree?
