About SCLC
South Chicago Learning Center (SCLC), the satellite campus
for Olive-Harvey College, is a vital community institution for South Chicago
and the surrounding neighborhoods. Established in 1988, SCLC brings education
and to the diverse community of Chicago’s south side. We offer adult education
classes that include English as Second Language (ESL), High School Equivalency
(HSE) prep class, Spanish GED classes, and others such as Computers,
Citizenship, and Constitution. We offer college-credit courses and opportunities
for students to connect to vocational and technical training as well.
As one of the most accessible higher education options in
the community, we offer opportunities for students to achieve upward mobility.
Our goal is to connect them to programs and services across Chicagoland that
can assist them with achieving their personal, academic, and financial goals. (we don’t have any job services at SCLC)
Students who enroll at SCLC can structure their educational pathway so they can
earn a credential with the City Colleges of Chicago. (students cannot transfer directly from our
programs)
Students can register online 24/7 or on campus Monday
through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Community organizations can reserve rooms or schedule a
meeting by calling (773) 291-6770.
