Austin's CLC is home to numerous programs designed to address the needs of and strengthen the district's partnership with the Austin community.

We are home to Austin Adult Learning, Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE), Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE), and Kids Korner. We also offer Early Childhood Screening, a free and required service before students can be admitted to kindergarten.

Additionally, our Community Education program supports education in multiple diverse disciplines, from technology and physical activity to job training and the arts.

The CLC was named one of the Healthiest Schools in America by the Alliance for a Healthiest generation for our work in "Cultivating Staff Well-Being."

“Our team at the CLC is thrilled to receive this recognition which reflects the supportive culture our team has built together,” said Community Education Director Jen Lawhead. “Trust, belonging, and strengths-based collaboration create an environment where staff can grow and do their best work for students and families. That positive culture is especially important for our youngest learners as they build the foundation for lifelong learning.”
