In 1995 Sherma Jeffrey-Ryan started with the vision of reaching every child through education. First she focused on the underprivileged children who were failing in the traditional school system. She started tutoring at home and she quickly realized that the need was greater than she had envisioned.  Later Calgary Learning Institute moved to a larger educational facility with a computer lab and library to accommodate and enhance the learning experience of many students.

CLI's visions is to help children access quality tutoring at a reasonable cost, and at the same time receive the highest level education from qualified teachers in Alberta.

Our goal is to eliminate poverty through education, offering individualized training programs in English, adult workplace training, computer skills and tutoring.
