Fee Reduction

CLaRI, the Center for Literacy and Reading Instruction, is a community resource committed to education for all children regardless of their socioeconomic, linguistic, cultural, religious, racial, or ethnic background. As such, we offer financial assistance to families that cannot afford to pay the full amount of after-school tutoring tuition. CLaRI is able to extend financial assistance for up to 25% of the families attending after-school ACCESS tutoring.
