The Clariden School was founded in 1986 as an AMI Montessori Internationally Accredited program for pre-school to 6th grade. Following its move to Southlake in 1993, the school has gradually expanded to include a middle and high school program.

These programs continue to reflect Clariden’s vision and commitment to the academic, personal and social development of its diverse student body.

In the Fall of 2002, we moved into our new campus. The 23+ acre campus is located across from Bob Jones Park in Southlake.

The design incorporates several key elements: innovation, sense of community and room to grow. The master plan, which will be built in several phases includes sports facilities, a library, auditorium, science lab and fine arts building.

Mission Statement

The mission of The Clariden School is to help children to become respectful, compassionate, and contributing members of society by providing a strong academic, personal, and social learning environment.

The Clariden School Approach

Our Casa, Primary, and Elementary classes follow the Association Montessori International (AMI) program. The Clariden School has selected this form of education for its Lower School because it most completely reflects our commitment to the total development of the child. Our Middle and High School programs, while more traditional in format, continue that commitment to individual development - academic, physical, social, and psychological.
