Claren Academy

Claren Academy is an independent school located in downtown Vancouver. Our vision is to send our students into the world as creative, kind, self-reliant individuals, with the skills and motivation to thrive, help, and be happy in their changing future. What sets Claren Academy apart from other schools? Our dedicated staff, our school-wide focus on kindness, and our unique approach to levelled literacy and math- Our dedicated, passionate teachers focus on individualized learning to help each student achieve their best work, and be excited about the results- The most important focus to set our students apart from robots, which can never be automated, is kindness. Mindfulness, community, and service to each other are fundamental to the Claren Academy model, and it is a joy to see our students grow into individuals we are proud to care for and learn from in return- For the core foundational subjects of literacy and math, Claren uses a levelled program that fits students into their ‘just-right’ group, regardless of grade. This approach allows students to have more support as needed, and to advance to the next lesson only when mastery of previous lessons has been demonstrated.
