Welcome to the Southern Maine Learning Center. Founded by local educational psychologist Dr. Bruce Thurlow, the Learning Center has provided families in Southern Maine with private educational services for many years. We pride ourselves on tailoring educational programs for each individual's unique learning needs.
All children are capable of learning.
But for girls and boys with a learning disability, school can be an endless source of frustration, anxiety and unhappiness, often leading to failure. Public schools' special education programs attempt to meet the needs of these exceptional learners, but there are times when a child's learning needs can be better helped in a different type of school than a traditional public school. The Day School of Scarborough is just such a place. The Day School promotes success for these young people through personalized education. Every student has a learning plan which focuses on their specific needs, recognizes their unique learning style and builds on their strengths.
