The Living Classrooms Foundation is a
non-profit educational organization that
provides hands-on learning, job training,
community service and community
development programs for students from
diverse backgrounds, with an emphasis on
serving disadvantaged and at-risk youth.

Living Classrooms was founded in
Baltimore, MD in 1985 with a philosophy
based on the concept that students -
especially those in need of extra
guidance-placed in small classes in
challenging settings respond to real-world
applications of academics and the "work
world" far more readily than they do in
traditional classrooms.
