CLS is thankful to receive funding from the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) to purchase textbooks and other classroom items. Because these items are paid for through a MSDE grant, the tuition charged to you is reduced by that amount. In school year 24-25 CLS received $6,219 from MSDE.
