Clariden’s Mission
We offer next-generation learning to a global community of independent thinkers by
igniting curiosity, encouraging innovation, and discovering genius.
The Clariden Difference
At the Clariden School, students have the freedom to learn. Clariden is a dynamic college-preparatory school that encourages children to take responsibility for their learning and challenge themselves to achieve ambitious goals.
In our innovative, empowering and joyful environment, learning at Clariden is fueled by curiosity, collaboration and exploration. Our intentionally small class sizes mean that students receive individual attention and are truly known. Within just a half hour of lively and diverse cities like Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington, our central location in Southlake, Texas enables us to provide our students with countless opportunities for field study and research.
Our community is infused with positive values. As a secular school that welcomes families of all faiths, we foster a safe environment of mutual respect free of political or social influences. An environment of mutual respect allows for a full and respectful exchange of ideas, teaching students to work productively with one another.
Clariden students are unbounded thinkers, constantly pushing to solve problems and grow as leaders. They are independent, self-motivated, confident, and prepared for their future learning.
The Clariden School is accredited by the Texas Alliance of Accredited Private Schools (TAAPS) and a member of the Texas Private Schools Association (TPSA). The Clariden School is currently pursuing accreditation from the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS).

Character education is an important facet of our classroom curriculum. Referred to as PRIDE, Clariden’s character education helps students understand, care about, and act on core ethical values such as respect, justice, citizenship, and responsibility for oneself and others. By obtaining these core values, we may form the actions that are the hallmark of safe, healthy, and informed communities. Clariden PRIDE stands for:
- Politeness – Thinking of others and considering their viewpoints before acting or speaking.
- Respect – Treat others with kindness, empathy, and consideration.
- Integrity – Act with honesty, own your mistakes, and do the right thing even when it is hard or no one is watching.
- (Self-) Discipline – Be patient, with yourself and with others. Take control of your feelings and actions.
- Embracing Opportunity – Try new things! Take the challenging road, follow a new path, and celebrate those that are brave enough to do the same.
