At the heart of REID is a commitment to lifelong learning and community revitalization. From literacy initiatives to adult education, the REID will be a resource for learners of all ages, fostering a culture of lifelong learning and personal growth.
REID begins with a commitment to support local schools as they work to meet state standards of a 95% IREAD-3 pass rate. 48% of third-grade students in Near Northwest Area schools pass the I-READ assessment.
Throughout the former Larue Carter property, Marian University and trusted partners will bring high-quality programming to the Near Northwest Area and be a resource for learners of all ages.
Through the continued engagement of partners, funders, and the active participation of the community, REID will serve as a beacon of opportunity and transformation.
