Doctrine: IALAC is a word that was created by the person for whom this learning center is named after. It stands for “I Am Loved And Cared for.” Christine Avery, a schoolteacher and pastor’s wife, believed that every person was special in their own way and deserving of love and care. Her approach towards education included demonstrating a genuine concern for the individual, and reinforcing their self-efficacy, confidence, and sense of belonging through tough love and care. Prospective on Education: It is our belief that students benefit most from a well-rounded approach to learning; therefore, our learning center is designed to enhance learning across all disciplines and areas of life. In order for one to truly be successful, they must spiritually, academically, finically, and emotionally mature. We place emphasis on these categories, and incorporate them into its daily activities. We are believers of the Christian principles and have integrated them in our program. We believe that in order for students to formulate genuine ideas of success, that they must be surrounded by successful community leaders whom they can look up to, and seek to involve successful members of the Asheville community in our service learning and leadership development areas. We also believe that it is not only important to offer principles for success to the students, but to create a system in which these same principles are disseminated throughout the community and future generations. To achieve this goal, we will require active community involvement and awareness. By engaging the participants in community activism, they are not only learning about what it takes to be successful but they are also helping fortify success within the community and assisting others to reach success.
