Camden Learning Center, founded in 1998 by Patricia Starcher, grew out of Ms. Starcher’s desire to touch many lives with the basic learning skills that so many students did not have in this day of fast food and immediate gratification. Ms. Starcher knew that students could benefit from learning more about the learning process if she could just have the time to work with them in small groups. Therefore, in the spring of 1998, Ms. Starcher resigned from her public school teaching of English to embark on fulfilling the desire of her heart. That desire was manifested in the designing and opening of the Camden Learning Center.
