A '''Small Learning Community''' (SLC), also referred to as a '''School-Within-A-School''', is a form of school structure that is increasingly common in [[United States|American]] [[secondary school]]s to subdivide large school populations into smaller, autonomous groups of students and teachers.
The primary purpose of restructuring secondary schools into SLCs is to create a more [[personalized learning]] environment to better meet the needs of students.<ref name="AFA">''Architecture for Achievement - building patterns of small school learning'', Victoria Bergsagel, Tim Best, Kathleen Cushman, Lorne McConachie, Wendy Sauer, David Stephen. Mercer Island, WA. 1997. Page 101-104. ISBN 978-0-9796777-0-0. Retrieved 2016-04-07</ref> Each community will often share the same teachers and student members from grade to grade. Teachers in these units usually have common planning time to allow them to develop interdisciplinary projects and keep up with the progress of their shared students.
