Daytime Program

Our Daytime Program offers a small, multiage setting where students create and learn with the support of their teachers and peers. Because children thrive on play, movement, and exploration, learning takes place through hands-on and play-based experiences, using outdoor space whenever possible.

Monday–Friday
9:00 am–2:00 pm

Three- and five-day options available.

Before care Monday–Friday, 8:00–9:00 am
Open Play and enrichment classes Monday–Thursday, 2:00–5:00 pm, and Friday, 2:00–4:00 pm

Elementary (Grades K–5)

Clonlara builds on young students’ curiosity for learning by emphasizing the importance of play in addition to core academics. Every day we bring enjoyment, wonder, and discovery into our spaces to help our students build a strong foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Our classroom climate fosters collaboration, and our multiage setting allows the younger students to learn from their older peers, taking on leadership roles when ready.

Middle School (Grades 6–8)

The middle years are a time of great transition and increasing self-awareness for youth as they begin to see themselves in relation to their peers and the world around them. Through a combination of projects, play, and academic subjects, we help to foster students’ emerging self-confidence by encouraging them to bring their ideas into the building and letting their questions and interests guide their learning.

High School (Grades 9–12)

Clonlara’s high school is a social learning community in which students learn through group collaboration and individualized projects. Our goal is to empower our high school-age students to explore their interests and support them in making plans to put their ideas into action. In addition to the core subjects, our projects emphasize volunteer service, public speaking, problem solving, critical thinking, self-advocacy, research, and the important life skills that prepare students to succeed in the college or career of their choice.
