As my husband and I focus on managing our company, it’s crucial for us to ensure that our young children receive a whole-child, academic excellence, and individually tailored education, all within a year-round program and on the same campus. After thorough research, we discovered that The Clariden School, its dedicated staff, and Dr. Segraves (Head of School) share our core values, and meet all the essential criteria! We are so happy to see our children thriving at Clariden.

“When I came to The Clariden School after almost three decades in public education, I had no idea what to expect from an independent school. What I found was a community. A community based on nurture, excellence, and involvement. One that utilizes resources beyond the scope of the campus to engage the learner for a greater educational impact. I also found a group of teachers dedicated to their students and their families. Teachers that genuinely love learning and are impassioned with imparting their knowledge in unique ways to students. They each have something special to bring to the process, and it makes for an enriching experience. I found amazing students. Students whose curiosity motivates investigation and study. Students with a genuine desire to explore and deepen their understanding of not just academics but also citizenship and social responsibility. I found fabulous families dedicated to supporting their children, teachers, the Clariden community, and the school itself. Families that will go the extra mile to work seamlessly in their children’s educational experiences. I found a beautiful place that I am proud to be a part of. Thank you, Clariden, for being here for all of us.”

“Choosing to teach at Clariden has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made—personally and professionally. The community is welcoming, talented, and deeply invested in the success of the student body. Despite moving from out of state, there hasn’t been a moment where Clariden didn’t feel like home. The school does a remarkable job of empowering educators to practice innovative and engaging pedagogies. Rather than being confined to prescribed curricula or tests, I have the intellectual freedom to design courses in ways that meet my students’ needs and create lifelong commitments to learning. Clariden’s small class sizes have also allowed me to form meaningful relationships with students and provide them with resources that are often inaccessible in larger schools. I love being a teacher and I’d find joy teaching anywhere, but Clariden has provided me with the environment and support to reach my full potential as an educator. I wouldn’t trade that for anything.”

“We knew before we even had our son that Clariden was the school for us. From the small class sizes with individualized attention and the very caring teachers and staff, to the fun project-based STEAM curriculum – our experience has been wonderful! The school makes you feel like you have joined one big family. There are many wonderful opportunities for parents to get involved, too! I have personally enjoyed being a room mom, helping with school productions, and volunteering at miscellaneous events like the book fair, field day, and the fall festival! We are very excited to watch our son learn, grow and thrive at this fantastic school!”
