What we look for

Our educators are the face of Claren Academy, and as such, they exhibit passion for the vision of the school, and demonstrate strong interpersonal skills with families and other staff. As team members of a young organization, our teachers take initiative, are self-motivated, and embody the same enthusiasm and work ethic we foster in our students. In return, staff receive strong support from our Board of Directors in terms of professional development, classroom resources, and other key decisions.
