The Learning Center (CE) strengthens the Tierras Altas community by offering children—including those at risk—engaging educational programs and creative workshops, from music and English classes to preschool readiness. CE also supports secondary and higher education students and promotes professional growth for local workers, including teachers, tour guides, entrepreneurs, and business professionals, through skill-building opportunities, mentorship, and community-focused initiatives that foster learning, inclusion, and long-term personal and professional development.

It also serves as an educational space for national and foreign student groups visiting our community and seeking to learn about its history, flora, fauna, among other important topics of our community. Offering also comfortable accommodation to make the learning process a more pleasurable experience.

At The Learning Center, we are committed to enriching the Tierras Altas community by sparking curiosity and fostering learning through diverse, hands-on experiences. By supporting individual growth, we help children, youth, and adults reach their potential and contribute positively to the community. We welcome volunteers from around the world who share our mission, offering them the opportunity to develop new skills, and make a lasting impact while being part of a vibrant, engaged community.
