In this study, the relationship between principals' learning-centered leadership and teachers' professional learning was examined according to the views of Science and Art Center (SAC) teachers. Although similar studies have been carried out before, it was thought that SAC teachers' perceptions as a different context could provide important implications. 112 SAC teachers participated in the research. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, simple and multiple linear regression analysis. In line with the findings, it can be said that SAC teachers have high perceptions of learning-centered leadership and professional learning. As a result of the research, it was concluded that learning-centered leadership predicted teachers' professional learning. The dimensions of learning-centered leadership, building a learning vision and providing learning support, are related to professional learning. However, the dimension of managing the learning program and modelling does not predict professional learning. These findings reached within the scope of the research were interpreted, and their similarities and differences with similar studies in the literature were discussed. Suggestions were made that SAC principals should go through a training process before starting their duties and that SAC principals should be granted autonomy.
