Our Program
Siena Literacy Center offers adult education services in reading, math, English as a Second Language, and digital literacy.
Adult learners are matched with a personal tutor and work with them on an individual curriculum. Tutors and learners meet at Siena once a week for two hours to work toward goals.
Learners also spend time using educational software in our computer lab or from home.
