Clonlara School operates both a private Campus School that students attend daily and, as an extension, a Home Based Education Program serving students who opt for home schooling.   Each Clonlara student completes a personalized education.   Our fully-accredited programs provide curriculum and guidance to reach that end.   We enroll students from Kindergarten through High School graduation.

 

Clonlara School - 1289 Jewett - Ann Arbor, Michigan - our location since 1967.   The building pictured here was built in 1997.   The Campus School is located on the left and the offices for our Home Based Education Program and our administrative staff are located on the right.   Click on the Campus School or the Home Based Education Program parts of the building to learn more about them -- or come in the front door to learn about our other programs.

 

Since 1967, Clonlara has been guided by our own unique philosophy.   Dr. Pat Montgomery founded the school to pursue a student-centered curriculum, rather than the methods of others.   The Home Based Education Program, created in 1979, was born of the demand for replicating, at home, the successes of our campus school.

Clonlara's approach to education is based on the individual process that inspires us all to learn.   We are truly focused on each student – where they are academically, intellectually and emotionally when they come to us, and where they intend to go from us.

"I love Clonlara! It has enriched our lives tremendously."

-- C.M. Hoefler

William Butler Yeats said, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”   Clonlara helps ignite a desire for learning that lasts a lifetime.   Let us help you!

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