The South Baltimore Learning Center is a community based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the self-sufficiency of educationally disadvantaged adults.  At the Center and off-site, adult learners can attend classes in Adult Basic Education (ABE), Pre-GED and GED instruction, or — for beginning readers — weekly one-to-one tutoring sessions.  SBLC also provides computer classes, career counseling, and academic counseling, as well as an opportunity to earn a high school diploma through the External Diploma Program (EDP). SBLC is the sole authorized provider of the EDP program for Baltimore City.

 SBLC provides services to more than 1300 learners each year.  In 2010, 73 SBLC learners earned their high school diplomas, our best year ever.  Our success rate — the success of our learners — continues to grow!
