Mission Statement

The Learning Communities Program (LCP) of Cerritos College is  founded on the principle that acquiring knowledge demands social interaction. For this reason the Learning Communities Program seeks to nurture students within a community of learners and to engender a new culture of learning at Cerritos College.  Specifically, the Learning Communities Program commits to three interdependent objectives.  First, LCP validates that students’ experiences and ideas are essential components to true learning.  Second, this program illustrates that collaboration and sharing increases exponentially the process of true teaching.  Third, the Learning Community Program of Cerritos College demonstrates that an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning best prepares individuals for the complexities of living successfully in the 21^st century.
