HistoryWhat started 10 years ago as a simple idea - to provide children in Johnstown, Pennsylvania with access to high quality tutoring without the high price tag - has grown into a multi-faceted program that gives children, families, and schools greater options for improving academic achievement. The need was identified by Lorraine Nulton, D.Ed., founder and president of the nonprofit agency. While working in public schools, Dr. Nulton, an educational psychologist, discovered that many of the children who needed academic support the most came from homes where parents didn't have the skills to provide it. They also couldn't afford to pay a private tutor. A generous donation from the Nulton family funded The Learning Lamp's birth. Today, The Learning Lamp is a respected organization that served more than 13,000 children from 77 school districts across 32 counties last year. Together with schools, families, and community organizations, The Learning Lamp offers a wide range of educatSpecialtiesThe Learning Lamp's mission is to engage all children in the support they need to succeed. We provide quality educational services, which include child care, preschool, tutoring, summer camps, alternative education, credit recovery, and more.
