    Developmental Priorities

    N/A

    Intellectual
    The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."
    Balanced
    Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.

    Progressive

    Curriculum pace

    N/A

    Standard-enriched
    Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

    Academic culture

    N/A

    Supportive
    A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.

    Preschool/K curriculum

    Play-based
    Play-based programs are the most common type of preschool and Kindergarten, and are founded on the belief young children learn best through play. Largely open-ended and minimally structured, play-based programs aim to develop social skills and a love of attending school. “Pre-academic” skills are taught, but in a more indirect way than at, say, an Academic program: through children playing in different “stations” set up around the classroom, which children choose on their own volition. Stations often contain an indirect lesson or developmental goal. Play-based classrooms are highly social and active.

    "What sets Claren Academy apart from other schools?
    ---
    Our dedicated staff, our school-wide focus on kindness, and our unique approach to levelled literacy and math.

    - Our dedicated, passionate teachers focus on individualized learning to help each student achieve their best work, and be excited about the results.

    - The most important focus to set our students apart from robots, which can never be automated, is kindness. Mindfulness, community, and service to each other are fundamental to the Claren Academy model, and it is a joy to see our students grow into individuals we are proud to care for and learn from in return.

    - For the core foundational subjects of literacy and math, Claren uses a levelled program that fits students into their ‘just-right’ group, regardless of grade. This approach allows students to have more support as needed, and to advance to the next lesson only when mastery of previous lessons has been demonstrated."

    "When Claren Academy was founded in 2017, our goal was to prepare our students for the future as it will actually be when they graduate around 2030. We boiled it down to skills that robots do not have, such as collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and empathy. Along with strong academic foundations and access to the best resources and educators, these are the skills and tools that will help our children succeed and be happy in their future."

    "Backwards Design Approach

    The Claren Academy Learner Profile is a framework that guides our students towards becoming independent, reflective, and curious learners.

    We start by identifying the core attributes that we want our students to develop, such as creativity, critical thinking, empathy, and resilience. From there, we design learning experiences that help students develop and practice these skills.

    This backwards design approach ensures that everything we do at Claren Academy is aligned with our ultimate goal of developing well-rounded learners. It's not just about memorizing facts and figures - it's about developing the transferrable skills and growth mindset that will enable students to succeed in all areas of life.

    The Claren Academy Learner Profile is an integral part of our approach to education. It's a roadmap that guides our students towards becoming the best version of themselves, and it helps us ensure that every learning experience is purposeful and meaningful."
