The Family Place Public Charter School (TFPPCS) will provide low-income limited English proficient adult learners with an academic program to increase their English proficiency, literacy and workplace skills. TFPPCS will build upon the success of The Family Place nonprofit (TFP) that has served the immigrant community for over 36 years.

TFPPCS will provide educational programs and ancillary wrap-around services that not only meet the pressing needs of the adult learner but also increase attendance and retention. These services include early childhood education, case management, parent outreach and home visits, career counseling, nutrition classes, domestic violence support and transportation assistance. TFPPCS’s vision is that adults and families are enabled to become self-sustaining, employable and engaged in their community.
