Carnegie Credit Units (180 hours = 1 credit unit) are used as the basis for Clonlara School credit. In addition to the credit requirements in academic subjects, Clonlara School students read from an extensive reading list and complete at least 180 hours of service to their communities. Students submit their reading list and their community service documentation when they apply for graduation. It is recommended that students hold a job for pay before graduation. Graduating students submit a portfolio of their experiences and work and must successfully complete a Clonlara School exit examination.
 
International students who are enrolled in Clonlara School (with the exception of our Japanese Program students) must study two years of English, two years of their own language (the language of the country of their citizenship or their mother tongue), including grammar, composition and language arts. Clonlara highly suggests that these students pursue four credits in each language, English and their own language. International students must study the history and government of their own country of citizenship. (Students with dual citizenship, please contact your Advisor.)
 

 
Clonlara School's mission is to provide programs and services
that recognize and support a learner's curiosity, strengths, interests and talents as the foundation of his or her educational experience.
