Arlington is where lifelong learning is accessible to every resident — and where community groups, government bodies, and businesses function as learning organizations to empower the individual and strengthen the community.

When we create opportunities for learning throughout life, we make it possible for the individual to achieve their full potential, which benefits the individual as well as the community. By integrating the principles that foster learning in every realm of the Arlington community, we can create a town that is more connected, creative, and resilient. Those principles are founded on inclusive learning for all individuals at all stages of life. With the political will that is driven by active engagement in the community, we can mobilize the resources we need to provide those opportunities and reap the benefits.
