School Notes:

    • The Clariden School of Southlake's Lower School program is grounded in the Montessori philosophy. Our accreditation through Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) ensures that the integrity of Dr. Maria Montessori's vision is maintained throughout our Lower School classrooms.
    • In Montessori classrooms, lessons are given to students individually or in small groups.  Personalized instruction such as this allows the teacher better opportunity to gauge both the ability and interest of individual students at a level of detail unmatched by many other educational models.
    • The Global Strengths Program for students in the Upper School (7,8,9 grades) is designed to engage students through a  highly personalized, challenging, and innovation-driven curriculum that makes learning relevant.  Students will use hands-on, active, project-based learning to complete challenging projects that will have real world applications.  For example, students won't simply learn about geometry by solving pencil and paper problems. They will learn about geometry with a project that might redesign an entire neighborhood. They will identify problems, formulate solutions, apply those solutions and report their findings. The program requires students thoroughly understand, integrate and apply their knowledge. 
    • Students in our Global Strengths Program will produce rich portfolios of college-ready work such as student published writing, original films, inventions, products, business plans and designs.  Opportunities to reach beyond the basic core curriculum are abundant in each project which further inspires excitement about learning.

Make Summer a Special Time! Make Summer a Special Time!
If you have children in private school, then you are most likely looking at three months, perhaps even longer, which you must fill with activities of one kind or another during the long summer break.
