Alpha Learning Centers is the educational arm of Alpha Treatment Centers. Alpha Treatment Centers was founded in 1985 by Marilyn Lang. Marilyn's vision was to develop programs to assist children to become all that they can be.

The first program she developed was a Foster Family Agency dedicated to helping abused and/or neglected children in need of out-of-home care.

After years of successfully helping thousands of abused/neglected children, she developed Alpha Learning Centers in late 2003 to help children who were doing poorly in school.

Alpha Learning Centers Mission Statement

The mission of the Alpha Learning Centers tutoring program is to motivate children to want to read for pleasure, see the importance of learning mathematics; to help children become engaged readers/writers, proficient mathematicians, and to be confident enough in their academic skills to believe they can achieve whatever academic goals they set for themselves. Alpha Learning Centers tutoring was developed to offer highly effective and affordable instruction in the convenience of the child's own home, school, or other accessible facility while focusing on academic improvement and building confidence. Our goal is to teach the child the skills necessary to complete their homework themselves with a strong understanding and improved accuracy. Although group tutoring is available, our experience has taught us that improved self-esteem from one-to-one tutoring can extend into all aspects of a student's life ranging from significantly improved performance (e.g., exam results) to more positive interaction with teachers and friends.

We aim to help all students achieve their potential by giving them encouragement, understanding and individualized attention. We strive to raise our students' aspiration and achievement levels by infusing them with enthusiasm for the subject, self-confidence, motivation and direction. We believe that everyone regardless of age, ability or background can benefit from one-to-one tutoring.
