About The Learning Lamp

You have a purpose and so should your job. Our children are the future of our community, and their care and education will directly impact their growth, development, and success. We believe success in the classroom is the foundation for success in life – and that no child should go without the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Backed by the experience and educational leadership of The Learning Lamp team, Ignite Education Solutions now combines all The Learning Lamp's school-focused services under one easy-to-access roof. Our team of dedicated professionals takes the administrative burden off school districts so that district officials and teachers can focus on what they do best – helping children reach their fullest potential. We are an integral part of the community, providing much needed support for families, schools, and children. 

Ignite is hiring an LPN to provide nursing services for students that attend Greater Altoona Career and Technology Center.
