“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.”
