"The class size allows all students to create strong individual bonds with one another and also allows all students to try leadership opportunities. Overall it gave me a lot of confidence, and I was ready for the rigors of a high school like Harvard Westlake."

Clairbourn's sense of family makes growing up while learning there extremely nourishing and happy. It's truly a second home. I miss Clairbourn and loved it!

“Clairbourn offers so many extracurricular activities and encourages students to be the best that they can be. Everyone is so friendly and loving on campus. Clairbourn is such a great [place] to grow up and learn.”

It is a great school with a good environment and very good teachers. It was an excellent experience that prepared me well.

"Clairbourn provided a great home-like and supportive place for me to go. It also prepared me well as far as time management with a large load of homework and projects."

Clairbourn really prepares you well for high school in terms of group activities and public speeches since there are Morning Assemblies. It was a great pleasure to spend two years of my life at Clairbourn with my amazing classmates.

"A warm and loving community [that] nurtures students, knows them by name, and provides ample opportunity for self-discovery and development both inside and outside of the classroom."

The welcoming and supportive environment ensures that students will succeed and be prepared for high school and throughout the rest of their lives.

"Clairbourn offers so many extracurricular activities and encourages students to be the best that they can be. Everyone is so friendly and loving on campus. Clairbourn is such a great environment...."

Clairbourn has introduced me to music, which is now what I will be focusing on in college. All of my talents and recognition I have received is a result of Clairbourn.

"I loved Clairbourn as a student and now look back very fondly on my time there. I had several wonderful, remarkable teachers who made an indelible imprint on me and my future, both academically and personally. I would not be where I am today without having had such an outstanding Clairbourn education and experience."

Clairbourn provided a solid foundation for me and gave the confidence that I have today to question and speak up without the fear that I’m wrong. My teachers also greatly influenced my moral values without me even knowing it. I know how to share and collaborate, listen to others, and still speak up for myself. All the teachers take such good care of you. I’m so thankful to have had Clairbourn.

"Clairbourn emphasizes the process of learning in any subject which in turn helps students better understand, remember, and appreciate the material. Clairbourn also sees failures as an opportunity to better understand something or something that adds to an experience, not subtract from it."
