A Message from Our Principal

Welcome to Claren Academy!

Claren is an innovative school that offers a challenging curriculum focused on a holistic approach to preparing our students for whatever goals they may have for themselves in the future. We understand that a child’s education is not only about a strong academic foundation and acquiring important skills, but also about fostering important social emotional elements such as kindness, resilience, independence, and a growth mindset. Claren teachers work hard to incorporate these building blocks to a successful life into the daily curriculum in meaningful ways.

We are a small, tight knit community that prides itself on our warm welcoming atmosphere that works hard to ensure each child is valued and their unique talents, capabilities, and personalities are fostered. 

Claren is an exceptional place of learning for all. We are constantly developing and growing as an organization, from designing a mission specific curriculum, to ongoing professional development, to creating unique authentic learning experiences like our Claren Market Entrepreneurial Fair. Our staff and administration is focused on continual growth and improvement. We acknowledge that the world around us is changing at a rapid pace and schools need to continually grow and adapt in response to these changes.

I encourage you to visit our school and see our students and staff in action. Come experience the warmth of our community and undeniable excitement about learning we have at Claren!

Ms. Tracy Gates
Claren Academy Principal
