At Clark High School, we help students recognize the way they learn best and then tailor a program to that learning style. Self-awareness and organizational skills are among our strongest gift to students.

The Clark School curriculum is free from the rigid parameters of the Massachusetts Educational Frameworks and the MCAS exams. Our curriculum exceeds the demands presented by the most prestigious secondary schools and colleges.

Identifying and solving problems

At Clark School we teach young men and women to identify problems before they attempt to solve them. While many schools promote problem solving, our goal is to help students recognize opportunities for collaboration and experimentation in anticipation of finding solutions. This philosophy extends to all grade levels but is emphasized in High School.

Organizational skills

High School students are entrusted with a high degree of responsibility for their homework and other assignments. We emphasize time management and long-term planning skills. Students are required to use a laptop computer and respond to electronic scheduling reminders from the school office. All students maintain a daily assignment book.

Personal growth

We emphasize personal awareness and personal responsibility as members of a global community. Students are encouraged to accept responsibility for their errors and to work toward solutions.

Leadership

Because they share a campus with children as young as 5, High School students have wonderful leadership opportunities. They are reading buddies and role models.

Making mistakes

At Clark School we put a particular emphasis on the fact that personal growth comes from making and acknowledging mistakes.

Acceptance

Students are encouraged to be perceptive to the nuances of their peers and to relish differences among themselves, their teachers and their classmates.
