Madison County Community Learning Centers is a nonprofit organization that provides accessible alternative education on 30 acres in the rural Appalachian Mountains. Our schools are independent, Preschool and K– 8th grade, that apply proven methods of experiential, nature-based, interdisciplinary learning to an underserved rural area that directly combats food insecurity. We provide a robust curriculum with Agriculture as a central focus in our programs, alongside the traditional subjects. Our students learn where their food comes from, how to grow & prepare their own food, strengthen nutritional literacy & experience increased access to fresh, healthy foods.
