Exhibit 99.1

  NOBEL LEARNING COMMUNITIES, INC. ANNOUNCES CONVERSION OF ALL OF ITS SERIES F
                           CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

    WEST CHESTER, Pa., March 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nobel Learning
Communities, Inc. (Nasdaq: NLCI), a leading operator of private preschools,
elementary schools, and middle schools, today reported that all of the
outstanding shares of its Series F Preferred Stock have been converted into
shares of its Common Stock.

    On March 9, 2007, the Company caused the holders of the Series F Convertible
Preferred Stock to convert their shares into Common Stock in accordance with the
terms of the Company's Certificate of Designation. As a result of these
conversions, the number of shares of Nobel Learning Common Stock outstanding has
increased by approximately 705,000 shares, and no shares of the Series F
Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding. Since the Series F Convertible
Preferred Stock had already been accounted for on an as- converted basis in the
Company's diluted share base the conversion will have no impact on fully diluted
per share calculations. Redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock will save the
Company approximately $180,000 per year by eliminating the 5.0% dividend on
those shares.

    George Bernstein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nobel Learning
Communities, said, "With the conversion of our Series F Convertible Preferred
Stock we have eliminated the last Series of convertible securities and have
completed the simplification of our capital structure consistent with our
strategy to increase shareholder value through a number of initiatives."

    Nobel Learning Communities, Inc. is a national network of over 150
nonsectarian private schools, including preschools, elementary schools, and
middle schools in 13 states across the nation with capacity for approximately
24,000 students. Nobel Learning Communities provides high-quality private
