Ages for which our activities are most appropriate: 
At Claren Academy, our superior student to teacher ratio (15 to 1, or better) permits us to take an individualized approach to teaching. Using methods like inquiry and project based learning, students are able to pursue their interests, and become truly invested in their own progress. In key cumulative subjects such as math and reading, our students proceed at their own pace, advancing to the next lesson only when mastery of previous lessons has been demonstrated. In this way we ensure that students do not have gaps in foundational knowledge (e.g. difficulty with fractions) that could cause them to struggle with more complex lessons in the future (e.g. algebra).

Future-Focused Learning in the Heart of Vancouver

Claren Academy distinguishes itself through its unwavering commitment to preparing students for tomorrow's world. Founded by parents urgently focused on equipping children with skills "that robots can't do," the school centers on creativity, technology, and entrepreneurship. The signature Claren Market program engages K-7 students in real-world product development, from prototyping to selling. Small, leveled literacy and math groups ensure each child works at their exact level, while a close-knit community of like-minded families creates a joyful atmosphere. Located in Yaletown, Claren uses Vancouver as an extended campus, fostering creative, kind, self-reliant individuals ready to thrive in their changing future.
