Welcome

Whether you are a prospective parent, client, or a community member, we welcome you to The Learning Center for the Deaf.  

One of our core guiding values of TLC is inclusivity.  We value the perspectives, identity and contributions of each member of our community and celebrate its rich diversity.  We extend this value to all those new to TLC who wish to learn more about our work and services.

Communication Guidelines

Stephanie Zornoza and PIP Group

Did you know American Sign Language is the primary language of communication on campus?  

Those new to our community, or learning American Sign Language, are encouraged to use ASL to the best of their ability.

Interpreter services are scheduled in advance for visitors who are new to ASL to ensure that communication is barrier-free.

Our goal is that all individuals on our campus, from students to employees to clients to visitors, feel included, respected and welcomed.

Athletic & Special Events

Our MPWS Galloping Ghosts home games are played inside our Schwab Athletic Center. TLC hosts the Eastern Schools for the Deaf Athletic Association tournaments with surrounding Deaf schools from the Northeast.

Our students participate in various JV and Varsity sports, including that we offer include: soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, track and field, and softball. 

TLC also hosts annual fundraisers and occasional events on campus, where the broader community is invited and welcomed to join us to support our mission and community programs.
