The KML Learning Center exists to encourage and work with all KML students including students with special education needs who need academic support or assistance. Through support from the Learning Center staff, students are equipped to be successful learners with the gifts God has given them. KML currently serves students with autism, health impairments, visual impairments, hearing impairments, specific learning disabilities, emotional behavior disabilities, and speech or language impairments.
