    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.

    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.
