Clonlara’s high school is built on a block schedule. Students attend each of their core courses twice per week, leaving time for electives and independent projects. Wednesday afternoons are dedicated to community service, sustainability projects, and field trips. Students regularly participate in all-school meetings, outdoor time, volunteer service, travel, and presentations.
Hours for grades 9–12:
9:00 am–3:00 pm
Monday–Friday
Flexible scheduling options available. All high school students must be regularly scheduled to attend Tuesday through Thursday each week.
Early arrival offered 8:00–9:00 am, Monday–Friday. High school students can add supported academic work time or scheduled meetings with advisors.
Enrichment courses offered 3:00–5:00 pm Monday–Thursday and 3:00–4:00 pm Friday. High school students can also choose to work on projects or just enjoy some social time.
Classroom
Clonlara high school students enjoy a flexible, comfortable space at our campus where they can work collaboratively, hang out and relax, and freely access the outdoors. Study rooms are available for independent work, small group projects, and meetings with mentors. Students use a variety of resources and technology in the classroom to enhance their research.
Culture
Students have autonomy both inside and outside the classroom. They are active participants in every aspect of the daily life of the high school. Students participate in decision-making processes, allowing them to help shape policies, programs, schedules, and topics of study.
Curriculum
Our high school curriculum revolves around personalized, project-based learning experiences. Students engage in real-world projects that challenge them to think critically, collaborate with peers, and apply their knowledge in practical situations. This approach not only deepens their understanding of subjects and ensures academic rigor, but also enhances problem-solving and creativity. Students regularly work with mentors, engage with the community, and present their learning to an audience.
