School
Middle school students at St. Clare continue to experience the same nurturing environment they experienced during their K-5 years while being given more opportunities for independence and for exploring their own interests. They take on the additional responsibilities of keeping a locker organized and moving between classes. Opportunities for overnight retreats and field trips are made available. They are given choice to develop their own interests through choosing an elective course each semester.
While adolescents need room to discover their own identity, they also need the security of clear boundaries and caring adults willing to serve as mentors in this process. We help our students build their character and grow in self-awareness – spiritually, socially and morally– while encouraging students to question and explore, to define their beliefs and move toward self-reliance.
