Tutoring Lab
In an effort to better serve our students, a CLLDA tutoring lab is open daily in the Cardington-Lincoln High School.  Lab is open from 7:50a.m. to 12:00 p.m.  when Cardington-Lincoln Local Schools are in session.  One-to-one or small group  tutoring helps students who are having difficulties with their course  work.  The lab setting also provides a structured environment in which students can work to achieve their goals.
