7. What is a public conversion community school? When a school district converts a building and or a program to community (charter) status. This releases the school from many of the state mandates and allows for the educational plan to be better tailored to the students' needs. Schnee Learning Center is an open- enrollment school Tier 1 school that is sponsored by the Cuyahoga Falls School District.

8. What are some benefits of Schnee Learning Center? Students work at their own level pace when working Plato Labs and during a shorter school day. The shorter day allows students to adjust their schedules for work purposes. There is no homework. Students may qualify to participate in extra curricular activities within the Cuyahoga Falls City School District. Students who graduate from Schnee Learning Center receive a high school diploma.
