What is Supplemental Educational Services (SES) Program?
Supplemental Educational Services (SES) tutoring is available free-of-charge to students of low-income families whose Title 1 school has failed to make adequate academic improvements over time. SES refers to academic tutoring and remedial help in subjects such as reading, language arts and math. This extra help is free to students because it is paid for by the federal government and can be provided before or after school, on weekends, or even during the summer. Providers of SES may include non-profit and for-profit entities, public schools, public charter schools, private schools, higher education institutions, faith-based organizations and more. Each school year, a district must present a list of state approved SES providers for parents to select from.
