     This Amendment No. 15 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 15”) relating to Nobel Learning Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 14, 1998, as amended (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).
     Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the same meaning as in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 15 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
     The information in Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following thereto:
     On July 16, 2008, Blesbok acquired 85,000 Shares (the “Purchased Shares”) in a broker transaction for a total purchase price of $1,150,050 (including commissions). The funds used to buy the Purchased Shares were provided to Blesbok by one of its members, which is controlled by Michael R. Milken and Lowell J. Milken. Such member received such funds from the working capital of its sole owner, which also is controlled by Michael R. Milken and Lowell J. Milken.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     The information in Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following thereto:
     On July 16, 2008, Blesbok acquired 85,000 Shares in a broker transaction for a purchase price of $13.53 per share (including commissions). Also on July 16, 2008, Michael R. Milken contributed to Blesbok 33,400 Shares that he held directly in exchange for membership interests of Blesbok, and ET Holdings, L.L.C.

     After giving effect to the purchase and contributions described above, Blesbok directly holds 2,870,835 Shares, which represent approximately 27.6% of the outstanding Shares, based on 10,391,810 Shares outstanding as of May 1, 2008, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on May 12, 2008 (the “Outstanding Shares”).
