New Campus Information

TVLC - PROJECT 2012

TVLC currently serves over 1300 students in a 60-year-old, overcrowded, temporary K-8 facility, and a temporary high school facility. Neither of the current school sites provides an optimal facility, and neither can house our 1100 K-8 student body or our projected enrollment number of high school students properly. Both facilities were designed for 500 maximum. A new facility is needed to give students more classroom space, increase enrollment to accommodate the waitlist, and give teachers the ability to expand their high quality education programs in a healthy, sustainable learning environment for students.

It is a testament to the strengths of programs at LVCS and LVCP that the schools have been able to overcome the limitations of their respective facilities and have emerged as leaders in education innovation and best practices.

As part of the process of ensuring that the mission of TVLC can be executed successfully, the Tri-Valley Learning Corporation Board of Directors is raising $57 million to acquire permanent facilities that will provide a secure and enhanced learning environment for its students.

To address the limitations of our schools' facilities, TVLC is acquiring permanent facilities that will provide a safe, secure and enhanced learning environment for our students. TVLC is purchasing and improving 28.32 acres that includes empty or almost-empty commercial real estate and accompanying land to build a joint-use K-12 campus for Livermore Valley Charter School and Livermore Valley Charter Prep HS.

Designed in conjunction with a team from Stanford University, the TVLC K-12 joint-use campus facilities will reflect TVLC's culture of innovation, collaboration, and dedication to sustainability and the health and wellbeing of the community.

Project 2012 will ensure that the mission of TVLC can continue to be executed successfully by:

• Creating permanence in the community
• Providing research-proven optimal learning environments for the students
• Modeling best practices in sustainability and educational technology
• Providing facilities that support education in health, wellness, and fitness; environmental stewardship, and energy and water conservation
• Providing collaborative spaces

Here is a brief synopsis of Tri-Valley Learning Corporation and Project 2012:

• Center for Innovation in Education Laboratory
• Sustainability throughout the curriculum and campus
• Emphasis on health and wellness via TVLC's choice of building materials, ergonomic furnishings, nutrition programs, and incorporation of a Wellness and Fitness Center
• Continued success of our current programs: Highest Performing K-8 in Livermore, 600+ student waitlist, Project based learning, 1:1 laptop program

The Center for Innovation in Education Laboratory will be on the site of the state-of-the-art K-12 campus. This showcase Center will be used to teach best practices in education, education technology, and sustainability to educators from all over the world. The teaching will be offered in the educators' native languages. Teaching and modeling 21st century skills, sustainability, and health and wellness throughout the curriculum, will be a major focus.
