Small Classes. Big Spaces. Award-Winning Curriculum.
THE CLARIDEN SCHOOL HELPS LAUNCH INNOVATORS. We are a not-for-profit, private, fully-accredited, college-preparatory school serving students PreK – Grade 12 in North Texas. Clariden works to ignite student curiosity and problem-solving skills by first providing a program that addresses the whole student. With a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), character-based kindness, and hands-on field study, our goal is to equip students for the jobs of tomorrow and to be contributing citizens in their local & global communities.
Our award-winning curriculum is built on project-based learning. The best way to learn about us is to see our beautiful 23-acre campus on our virtual tour. Contact us for a private, personalized virtual meeting. We can’t wait to meet you!
Please note: During the Spring semester the School will continue to adhere to the Fall Opening Plan regarding training, cleaning/disinfectants, hand washing etc., but will work towards opening the campus and expanding student opportunities as guidance from local health officials and the CDC allows. Therefore, we will continue to wear masks, social distance and enforce hand washing with our students and staff. Click here for the Clariden Opening Plan.
