The Learning Tree

The Learning Tree was incorporated as a non-profit organization in Mobile County in April 1983 by three parents of multiply handicapped children who sought to establish an environment that would nurture, challenge, and provide individualized instruction. The goal was to provide their children with a quality of education using individualized instructional processes that would focus on their children’s strengths and use those strengths to develop skills.

In over 36 years of service, the school has grown from four students and two staff persons at one small school in Mobile; to over 700 students and over 500 full and part-time staff spread over 13 programs, 8 cities, and 85 public school districts through Alabama. Still, the school has not deviated from its original mission, to provide quality individualized education to those we serve.
