    A Special Place to Grow
    I am a current parent and a volunteer admissions guide for prospective families touring Clairbourn.  I am keenly aware that parents are looking for clear evidence and assurances that their child will flourish and be well-served by Clairbourn when they come on campus for a tour.  I always tell them that I believe Clairbourn is a hidden gem and a truly a special place for a child to grow.

    High Academic Standards
    Clairbourn is a school with both a high academic standard as well as a supportive and nurturing environment. That is a very hard combination to find in today’s hyper-competitive world. Equally important, Clairbourn emphasizes character, respect for one another, and responsibility for one’s community, as well as giving back—qualities the leaders of tomorrow most need. My children have thrived in this kind of school environment.

    Fostering a Love of Learning
    To start, Clairbourn is such a warm, nurturing environment. For preschool, we were looking for a developmental program, and Clairbourn’s environment, teachers, and philosophy all make a place where the kids just love coming to school. And, with the older grades, the kids at Clairbourn are so well-rounded, balanced—just great kids.

    Credit to Clairbourn for High School Success
    As the parent of a Clairbourn alum who is now a tenth-grader at St. Francis, my son and the boys who went with him to St. Francis are very happy. The majority of them were honors students in all four quarters of their freshman year and, best of all, they are still friends with each other while bringing new friends into the herd.

    Forming Habits of Success
    In our present era, the academic levels of schools have elevated to a sophisticated level, and undoubtedly, there are much higher pressures for our children to succeed academically. The problem though, is that while schools hone in on academics as a priority for their education program, teachings of ethical and social values are declining.
