High School

Grades 9 through 12

Clark High School offers differentiated instruction in most courses. Students study at Honors, College Prep and Concepts levels which allows them to excel in their areas of interest, while exploring new ideas at a pace that compliments their learning style. Whether a student is college-bound, participating in a gap year program across the globe, or working towards a professional trade, we create a curriculum that will prepare them for their lives after graduation.

At Clark High School, we want to get to know you, the real you. Our faculty is committed to help you become who you are meant to be academically and socially. We will provide you the opportunity to explore, debate, question, and think . . . a lot.

Our Community is our core. We thrive on your success and challenges and want you to have a unique High School experience. We pride ourselves on our ability to help you pursue your true path. We believe you can have a little fun on the way, too!

MINI COURSES

Similar to Project Based Learning, Mini Courses are two-week intensive, full credit courses that encourage education through hands-on curriculum. Courses are created based on the interests of students and allow for an introduction of new concepts that are cultural, community-based and engaging.

FUTURE PLANNING

At Clark School, your child is not a number—and our Future Planning Class is like no other.  We get to know students well. We will help them embrace who they are and build their confidence so that they are able to make appropriate choices for themselves beyond high school.

We begin formal planning in the second semester of their junior year.  They have a weekly class where we explore a variety of future planning options: gap years, colleges, trades, military and employment.  Through a careful analysis of programs and data, they begin to create a vision for their future.

SENIOR INTERNSHIPS

Internships are one of the most important ways students gain experience and start to make contacts within their field of interest. Clark High School seniors are expected to explore potential careers and courses of study to help them prepare for college and experience how professional organizations operate.
