We are a global learning community with students in more than 60 countries, and when we say that we have a personalized learning approach, we mean it!

Whether you are seeking a campus or home-based/distance learning option, you can choose the program that works best for you at Clonlara. Our dedicated staff will work with your family to understand your student’s individual learning needs and goals. It all starts with getting to know you.

A school must empower 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.

Our approach to education leads to a lifelong love of learning.

Clonlara School accepts students from 6 years old. Students are grouped according to their age:

Youngers (6 to 11 years);

Middles (11 to 14 years old);

Olders (14 to 18 years old).

Whether on our campus, at home, or anywhere around the world, learning at Clonlara is personalized, and it begins with the student. Our Campus Program teachers and Off-Campus and Online Program advisors meet with students and their families to discover their strengths and interests, then help them plan their learning using our Full Circle Learning process. With a plan in place, students direct their own learning with support from teachers and mentors, working together to create authentic, relevant, personally challenging learning experiences.

In addition to the fundamental role of families in the development of children, the families of students at Clonlara School – Idanha have the opportunity to get involved in the educational community not only by participating in activities, study visits or field trips, but also by supporting the dynamics of the day-to-day school.
