Parent Testimonials

“Clonlara was a great alternative school for my son. He learned to take responsibility for his education, had an individualized accelerated academic program, explored his artistic side and felt welcome and appreciated in the community. Teachers were fantastic.”

Caroline R. (Parent)

“My daughter graduated 15 years ago. Pat Montgomery of Clonlara said repeatedly back then that if a student wanted a government job, they should have a private school diploma, even though homeschooling is legal. Well, we just learned how true that statement was. Now that she’s 33, my daughter’s current career has led to a government job that requires vetting. As proud as we are of her homeschooling “diploma,” it was only Clonlara’s verification that allowed her to pass through the vetting process. We are so grateful for the extra layer of protection that Clonlara School gave us.”
