 National Education Provider Acquires Premier Independent School in Sugar Land,
                                      Texas

    WEST CHESTER, Pa., June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nobel Learning
Communities, Inc. (Nasdaq: NLCI), a leading provider of education and school
management services for the preschool through eighth grade markets, today
announced that it had expanded its national presence with the acquisition of The
Honor Roll School (THRS) in Sugar Land, Texas. THRS is a leading pre-
kindergarten through eighth grade school, providing bright young minds with a
well-rounded education.

    "We are very pleased to add a well-respected school like THRS into our
family of schools and look forward to supporting THRS with our shared commitment
to maximizing each student's greatest potential. Since both Nobel Learning and
The Honor Roll School share the same educational philosophy and are founded on
the same principles, we look forward to sharing best practices while working
side by side," said George H. Bernstein, President and CEO of Nobel Learning
Communities.

    "The acquisition of The Honor Roll School is an important step in growing
Nobel Learning and implementing the initiatives in our strategic plan. The Honor
Roll School gives us a strong entry into the Houston metropolitan market and an
opportunity to develop additional preschools to support and expand The Honor
Roll School's elementary and middle school programs. We estimate that this
acquisition will add approximately $5 million in revenue and will be accretive
to our fiscal 2007 full year results. The acquisition purchase price of
approximately $3 million was financed through existing cash resources," added
Bernstein.

    Nobel Learning Communities schools are known nationwide for their commitment
to quality education for students in preschool through their middle school
years, and have a similar mission to THRS. Nobel Learning Communities' goal as
an organization is to offer excellence in private education for Pre-K to eighth
grade through local learning communities that support the educational,
enrichment and wellness needs of students and their families. The West Chester,
Pa.-based company, and many of its schools, are accredited through the
Commission on International & Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA), as well as
organizations including the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)
in Texas. Nobel Learning provides stronger resources than an individual school
can provide, including an Education Department and an Educational Advisory Board
led by nationally recognized experts in preschool through eighth grade
education. While Nobel Learning owns and operates nearly 150 schools in 13
states, the organization's schools retain a strong local focus that link
communities and parents in order to meet the educational needs of every student.
The acquisition of The Honor Roll School will add 1 preschool and 1
elementary/middle school to Nobel Learning's portfolio of schools.
