“Clariden is comprised of wonderful students and teachers, individualized and challenging classes, and a caring administration. Here, I have made many amazing friends and had the opportunity to participate in countless unique classes and projects. Attending Clariden has been an amazing experience, and I could not feel more prepared for college.”
At Clariden, students have a world of possibilities for achievement because they have the freedom to learn, communicate and be themselves.
Clariden’s Early Childhood division includes Cougar Prep for children ages three to five and our Kindergarten program. In a joyful environment, children’s guided play-based learning is fueled by their curiosity and collaboration. Students acquire the skills and knowledge that are the foundation for their future growth and learning. Students then move to Lower School for Grades 1-5, Middle School for Grades 6-8, and Upper School for Grades 9-12, culminating in the opportunity to pursue the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
Every child at Clariden is known. We understand that every child is unique and gifted in their own way. Teachers leverage each student’s particular interests and abilities, allowing them to grow emotionally and academically.
At Clariden, our diverse community is infused with positive values, exposing students to many different beliefs and customs. We are a secular school that welcomes families of all faiths, fostering a safe environment free of political or social influences. Your child will feel safe at Clariden, emotionally and physically.
We are thrilled you are considering Clariden for your child and cannot wait for you to join us!
Spotlight on the Croc!
The Clariden Crocodilian Program aims to teach the importance of crocodilians in ecosystems and the importance of their conservation. Clariden's science educator and paleontologist, Ms. Westerfield brings either a Nile Crocodile or an American Alligator into the classroom each year through a partnership with the Crocodile Encounter zoo. Students in grades 6-12 engage in hands on learning by integrating growth study, feeding and care into the classroom. Our younger students are also given the opportunity to visit, interact with and learn about our croc throughout the school year. We have had 8 partnerships thus far, including 4 crocodiles and 4 alligators. Meet our croc!
