STUDENT LIFE

When our students speak, we listen. With our inquiry-based approach, your child will be a partner in their learning and have a voice in shaping their educational experience. Students are given many opportunities to express themselves including numerous presentations of their learning. As a result, they become confident advocating on their behalf with teachers and other adults. We encourage children to take responsibility for their learning and challenge themselves to achieve ambitious goals.

INDEPENDENT TECHNOLOGY-BASED LEARNING

Particularly as part of our Upper School, students engage in independent, self-directed study choosing from an array of electives. Overseen by accomplished faculty, students devise and complete projects, many with a focus on STEAM, rocketry and robotics. With a strong educational foundation, Clariden students are independent, self-motivated, confident, and prepared for their future learning. Our graduates are accepted to schools of their choice including many prestigious colleges.
