The Learning Centers at Fairplex Vision Statement: To be recognized as a premier resource in Southern California that serves unmet educational needs and improves communities through our hands-on, innovative environments.

The Learning Centers at Fairplex support a vast array of relevant educational programs that provide hands-on educational experiences in a unique environment during the L.A.
