My son has been attending Clonlara since 2005 as I was looking for a better experience than what I could provide after his first three years (k-2) homeschooling. Clonlara is a three-room schoolhouse.The youngers (age 5-10), middles (ages 11-13) and high school (14-18) groups interact, so it provides a more natural, heterogenous setting vs the same-age homogenous experience in public schools. The older students recognize that they are modeling behavior for the youngers and middles and it has an extended family type of experience, which has been great for my only child. Clonlara provides an environment of learning that enables students to understand that they are responsible for their own learning. New students who arrive after years struggling in other schools quickly adapt as they don't need to act out because they are treated as individuals, as people, not problems. We love it. Expect to be very welcomed here.
Wonderful staff, supportive to many learning styles and venues. Child centered and engaging student curiosity in many settings has been key to developing my children's love of learning. They are self-directed learners and I know this will motivate them for the rest of their lives.
I only wish I would have found out about this school sooner. I used Clonlara for my senior year in high school and was very impressed. I was a student in the home-based education program, so I can't say anything about their campus school. My contact teacher was fabulous. This is the school to teach children how to learn and to love learning instead of what to learn. I plan to enroll my sons in the home-based program here as well.
