About CELC

Set your child up for long-term success at CT Experiential Learning Center

CELC was founded by accomplished educators Melinda Alcosser and Maria Mortali in 2009. Designed to have a low teacher-to-student ratio, this unique experiential learning center’s mission is to have the perfect balance between learner-centered robust academics and out-of-the-classroom experiences.

CELC promotes professional matching services to meet students’ needs and best match students with tutors and/or hands-on experiential learning opportunities!

The CELC Experience

At CELC, we always have considered each child who walks through our doors as unique, capable, curious, wondrous. Our comprehensive tutoring and educational coaching programs are meticulously designed for students, kindergarten through high school to engage in learning at their own pace, while achieving greater confidence, better grades, and improved test scores.

Our main goal is to harness our students’ flowing energy and potential in a positive and purposeful way.

CELC prides itself on teaching children the value of being productive members of the local community and constructive citizens of the world.
Learning starts with interests, passion, and aspirations. Our goal is to help students navigate through challenges and approach new horizons with an open mind, guiding towards self-discovery and educating in the ways in which they can contribute to the world around them.
