Clarity Family Information Webinars
Each year, Clarity hosts several Application Info Webinars for families. All families who may be applying to any Clarity school are welcome to attend any of these webinars. During the live session, we will go over some key aspects of the application, things to look out for, materials to gather, how to get help, how the tax verification process works, and a robust Q&A. In fact, we have had over 400 families attend a single webinar and we've stayed on to answer over 200 questions in some cases. Typically these will run for about 60 minutes but we will remain live longer if there are lots of questions from parents. Please feel free to share these dates with the parents in your communities and applicant pools. We will make the recordings available to you after each webinar.
