  • Happy Centennial, Clairbourn!

    A Century of Leading with Heart

    In 2026, we proudly celebrate our Centennial Year—100 years of shaping not only strong students, but compassionate, curious, and thoughtful individuals. For a century, Clairbourn has been more than a school. It has been a home rooted in educational excellence, guided by one principle: leading and learning with heart.

  • Thank you for celebrating community with us!

    This year’s spring concert, “Seasons of Love,” celebrated one hundred years (four hundred seasons) of care, connection, and community at Clairbourn School.

  • 'Building Tomorrow' starts with YOU!

    Dear Clairbourn Families,
     
    It is with great pride that I share an exciting initiative at Clairbourn School: the development of a new Middle School building. The project also includes an upgrade to our art studio and the addition of an outdoor learning space for our library. This initiative represents our ongoing commitment to providing an exceptional learning environment.

  • The Clairbourn Community: More Than a School

    March is a season of big decisions for families considering independent schools. Choosing the right school is more than academics—it’s about finding a place where your child will be challenged, supported, and inspired to grow. At Clairbourn, we believe our community offers something truly special for students and their families — an education of heart and mind.

  • Let's take a moment to reflect on how we've grown over the past 100 days!

    Do you want to know how our kindergarten and first grade students celebrated the 100th day of school on Tuesday? Kindergarteners painted 100 dots on hats and learned a person who is 100 years old is called a centenarian. They also drew pictures of what they imagined they would look like at age 100. Students took turns showing, describing, and leading the counting of their 100th day displays. Students stayed silent for 100 seconds and practiced counting to 100 by 5s, 10s, and their favorite fun way: “1, 2, skip a few…99, 100.” They also guessed how far they could walk in 100 steps, then counted as they walked—making it just past the MPB.

  • Living the Cougar Spirit: Alumni Spotlights — Grace Wang Mellis

    For generations, Clairbourn has shaped students who lead with curiosity, confidence, and compassion. In this alumni spotlight, we reflect on one alumna’s journey, from her formative years at Clairbourn to a life of learning, leadership, and global impact.

  • The History of Clairbourn — A Century of Vision, Growth, and Heart

    In 1926, Arthur K. Bourne, heir to the Singer Sewing fortune, envisioned a school for his three children that was grounded in strong family values, academic excellence, and character building. Together with friends from their Christian Science Sunday School, the Bourne children became the first students of what was then called the Claire Louise Progressive Elementary School. As enrollment quickly grew, the school soon outgrew the Bourne family home and relocated to a bungalow on San Pasqual Street. As the school grew, so did a strong sense of community, a defining hallmark of Clairbourn that remains today, 100 years later.

  • Building Heart by Choosing Gratitude

    Gratitude is a simple idea with powerful impact. It means being thankful, but more importantly, it means taking time to notice the good around us. Gratitude invites us to pause and recognize the people who support us, the moments that bring us joy, and even the small blessings we sometimes overlook in our busy days.

  • Applying Engineering Skills from Launch to Landing

    This fall, Clairbourn students set out to tackle our Mission to Mars Engineering Design Challenge. They were asked the question, 'How might we design a device to safely land a water balloon falling from a very high height?" to model the challenge faced by NASA scientists and engineers when trying to land the Mars Rovers Sojourner, Spirit, Curiosity, Opportunity, and Perseverance.

  • Each of us is a Clairbourn C.O.U.G.A.R.

    Did you know that each day at Clairbourn begins with a shared commitment? It’s a promise we live out through our actions, choices, and the way we treat one another. Morning assembly offers a moment to connect, reflect, and reinforce the values that guide us.
