pro amore discendi - for the love of learning 

The regional center was established to provide support for new Core Knowledge schools and to enhance the quality of existing Core Knowledge schools in the area.

On September 11, 2004, The Knowledge Center, Inc was organized as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization designed to provide support to area schools-students, teachers, and administrators. Dr. Sam Ayers, executive director, was charged with responsibility for organizing and developing educational programs, instructional materials, and relevant professional development.
