Lewis Center for Education Research

The mission of the Lewis Center for Educational Research (LCER or Lewis Center) is to ensure student success in a global society through data driven and research-based schools and programs that are safe, innovative and culturally inclusive.

The Lewis Center operates two charter schools: Academy for Academic Excellence in Apple Valley, a TK-12 college-preparatory program with a STEM emphasis, and Norton Science and Language Academy (NSLA) in San Bernardino, a TK-12 Spanish/English Dual Immersion model school with a STEM emphasis. The Lewis Center’s unique partnership with NASA/JPL on the GAVRT Radio Astronomy Project has reached more than 600 teachers and 50,000 students around the world in ongoing science campaigns. The Lewis Center also operates a number of historical and STEM local outreach programs from their replica pioneer town, Mineral City, and at the Apple Valley Center for Innovation (an informal education STEM Center in partnership with Apple Valley Unified School District).
