Principal’s Message

Dear Families, Students, and Community Members,

Welcome to Ghazvini Learning Center! I am honored to serve as your principal and proud to lead a school community committed to academic excellence, personal growth, and inclusive belonging. Our dedicated teachers and staff work every day to create a safe, engaging, and supportive learning environment where each student can discover their strengths and achieve their goals.

At Ghazvini Learning Center we focus on:

High-quality instruction that challenges students and builds critical thinking skills.
Whole-child development, including social-emotional learning, character building, and healthy habits.
Equity and inclusion, ensuring every student has access to instruction and supports they need to thrive.
Strong partnerships with families and community, because student success is a team effort.

Our school culture is founded in restorative practices that emphasize empathy and respectful conflict resolution through nonviolent communication. This approach helps students build stronger relationships, take responsibility for their actions, and develop practical skills for resolving disagreements constructively. Classroom circles, peer mediation, and targeted restorative conferencing give learners regular opportunities to practice empathy, listening, and compassionate problem-solving.

This site is designed to be a helpful hub for families and students. Here you’ll find information about academics, schedules, events, resources, staff contacts, and ways to get involved. I encourage you to explore the pages and reach out if you have questions or ideas.

Please stay connected with our district through this website, social media, and our regular communications. Your involvement is essential to the success of our schools, and we look forward to working together to create an exceptional educational experience for all students. Thank you for your continued support of Ghazvini Learning Center. Together, we will achieve great things!

Warm regards,
Amy Alvis
