Support Creative Learning Academy

Creative Learning Academy has offered a premier preparatory educational program for children in Pensacola over the past forty years.  CLA started with a “dream of a school where children are free to learn and happy to learn…a school that with mastery of each new skill their self-confidence increases and their love of learning grows.”  These are the words of the founder, Mary Lee Porter Hanson, and the year was 1972.

When you enrolled in CLA, you became a part of an extended family.  Our diverse population makes us a unique experience in the greater Pensacola area.  Even more important is the rigorous academic program that helps our students soar beyond anticipation.

Creative Learning Academy is a non-profit 501(c) 3 and is funded 100% by its school community.  Every penny is invested right back into the school and its programs and has a direct positive impact on the school. With the resources gained from donations, we are able to provide students with programs and activities to enrich their learning experience and equip us to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise.

Each year CLA asks families for financial support outside of tuition.  These generous gifts combined with other fundraisers supplement our operating revenue.  No gift is too large nor is any gift too small.  Giving offers you an opportunity to be part of the original dream of helping students have incredible educational opportunities.  It is an investment in the education of every child at CLA.

Over the last forty years, Mary Lee Porter Hanson’s dream has changed the lives of hundreds of children in Pensacola.  Please help us to keep this dream alive by continuing to enrich the lives of children and families for years to come.

Thank you for your support.
