Character of a Cougar

At Clariden, we believe that learning goes beyond academics. Our mission and approach to learning include helping students become good people and productive citizens in the world in addition to being knowledgeable. A student’s character is weighted just as heavily as their achievement in their academic classes. Clariden's character-building curriculum is founded upon what we refer to as our Cougar PRIDE.  


P Politeness

R Respect

I Integrity 

D (Self)-Discipline

E Embracing Opportunity

Educating the Whole Child

Clariden’s educational approach is mindful of the child as a whole person. We recognize that development in a child occurs in a myriad of ways – academically, emotionally, physically, and socially – and our school day includes age-appropriate schedules, classes, and opportunities for the whole child to develop across the day and academic year.
