GLC is a non-profit center for students with learning differences and/or
Attention Deficit Disorder. We are the first replication site of The Hill Center
in Durham, NC and have been serving area students with learning differences
since 2002. Our Vision The vision of GLC is to make this successful teaching
method available to as many students in Pitt County and the surrounding
counties, as possible. GLC will continue to serve the needs of Pitt County
students by working in partnership with Pitt County Public Schools and area
private schools. It is also our goal to work with families and students in need
of financial assistance by offering scholarships. In addition, GLC hopes to
cooperate with ECU as a resource for future teachers and as an official
internship site and volunteer service center. We look forward to becoming a
vital resource for the east. Greenville Learning Center does not discriminate on
the basis of race, color, national and/or ethnic origin in administration of its
educational policies, admissions, scholarship programs, or any other
administered programs. Mission Statement Greenville Learning Center enables
students with learning differences and/or Attention Deficit Disorder to achieve
their full potential and to become confident, independent learners. History The
doors of Greenville Learning Center opened in the fall of 2002. It was the
vision of three local families who shared the need for this type of school for
their children and others in Pitt County. In 1997 they sought the guidance of
The Hill Center and began the process of modeling their successful program. Over
the past years, we have served students from the following schools: A.G. Cox
Middle School Ayden Grifton High School Belvoir Elementary Chicod School Christ
Covenant School Eastern Elementary EB Aycock Middle School Elmhurst Elementary
School The Epiphany School of Global Studies Falkland Elementary Hope Middle
School John Paul II Catholic High School North East Carolina Prep The Oakwood
School Our Lady of Perpetual Hope – Rocky Mount, NC PS Jones Middle School

Intermediate Wintergreen Primary School Words from a founding parent As one of
the founders of GLC and parent of an alumni student, it has been amazing to
watch the journey of this little school develop. In the beginning, many thought
it would be impossible to start such a project in eastern NC, but the
determination of three mothers cannot be underestimated. The idea began to take
root in 1997 after a visit to The Hill Center in Durham. It was determined by
the three founding families at that time to make an investment and to begin to
hire teachers to train in The Hill Center Methodology. Laura Bruce Hadley
Nichols came on board and eventually became the school’s director. Dr. Michael
Priddy who was a superintendent of Pitt County Public Schools at the time, made
the trip to Durham with the founding mothers along with Mr. Larry Seigler (GLC
board member), and Dr. Marilyn Sheer (previous Dean of ECU School of Education).
We met with The Hill Center professionals and Dr. Priddy and decided that GLC
would be a great partner with Pitt County Schools. The meeting was successful
and afterwards Dr. Priddy granted transfer credit to GLC from Pitt County
Schools. From this point on, GLC has been helping children throughout Pitt
County meet their academic potential and feel good about who they are even
though they learn differently.
