School Overview

Clairbourn is an independent, Christian, preparatory day school for boys and girls, Preschool through 8th grade. We admit students of any race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin. We seek students who acknowledge the value and responsibilities of an independent school education. Students will then be accepted on the basis of their previous academic performance, placement test scores, writing samples, references, and, in the case of Preschool through Kindergarten, their maturity and school readiness.
