Job Summary

Genesis Learning Centers is a private, non-profit agency that specializes in providing therapeutic schools and services for children and adolescents who are experiencing intense emotional, behavioral, developmental, and learning challenges.

Services are tailored to the needs of each child and family in order to break the cycle of school failure and juvenile court involvement. As a State approved school, the Genesis Teen Learning Center program enables our students to continue their efforts toward graduation, earning Carnegie credits toward a high school diploma or preparing for the High School Equivalence Test (HiSET/GED) exam.
