While Dixon and Grace have stepped away from running the W.E.B. DuBois Learning Center, they remain the names associated with the institution they founded. 

They are doing what they always wanted to do – pass the baton on to the next generation of leaders. The future is in good hands.

The Location

After years of operating at 55th & Cleveland, the W.E.B. DuBois Learning Center had to relocate because the building had several issues that were too costly to repair.

They currently operate out of a former Kansas City Public School Building at 4510 E. Linwood Blvd.

Current Programming

The center is still rebuilding following a total shutdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. It serves students in grades 1-12 and offers free tutoring or instruction in:

·         Math

·         Reading

·         Science

·         STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses

Additional Services 

·         Enrichment programming

·         Educational & vocational counseling
