Clonlara School

Mission: To transform education on a global scale through a highly personalized approach that fosters authenticity, autonomy, and joy in the learning process.

More than a school, Clonlara is a global learning community with students in more than 60 countries and services provided in six languages. The philosophy of Clonlara School is to enable learners to participate purposefully and eagerly in their own education. Experience tells us that children learn best when their interests guide their activities and discoveries, and that parents have the right and ability to educate their children. We believe that learning begins with curiosity.

Clonlara sees the world as a boundless classroom and considers the learning environment integral to the learning process. Academic teaching and mastery of skills are not limited to a space or location. At home, at school, and beyond, there is fertile ground for learning.

We believe that a school should allow students to participate in the design and implementation of their curriculum. When students’ personal interests drive their educational activities, their motivation grows, and their learning is deeper and longer lasting. Every aspect of a student’s development deserves attention: physical, spiritual, mental, and psychological.

For more than 55 years, Clonlara has championed a personalized education approach that puts each student at the center of the learning process. From kindergarten through 12th grade, each Clonlara student learns through a personalized approach called “Full Circle Learning.” This research-supported model encourages students to formulate questions and discover answers about subjects that capture their attention, leading them to deeper understanding.
