Admissions Process
Printer-friendly version
We understand that finding the right ‘educational match’ for your child will result in a student who is eager to learn and will thrive in their studies. Our admissions process starts with a simple phone call and will lead to a campus tour, a 3-day visit and an enrollment interview. It is our desire to make sure, during this process, that you will be able to see and decide if the Clonlara learning environment is right for your child and for our staff to make sure we can meet your learner’s academic, physical, spiritual, mental and psychological needs.
Our Admissions Process is summarized below, it occurs in 4 stages, and was developed to ensure that we find the right educational match between your child and our learning community.

What Parents Say
"I would like everyone to know that Clonlara saved my son from becoming another high school dropout. The school district failed my son miserably. Since he has been at Clonlara he has improved 10 folds. He actually enjoys and looks forward to going to school. He was failing almost all his subjects in public school and now is an all A and B student. We are so grateful to all the teachers and staff."
- P. Woolley, mother of 2011 graduate
"....the moment our son walked in, we got our kid back. Just the whole feel of the school spoke to him and told him that he could be himself there. Creative, bright and totally amazing."
- Melissa, mother of a 2010 student
"After talking with your admissions representative, I found myself rearranging my work schedule to visit the school the very next day. Her passion and commitment to Clonlara was contagious. She was insightful, warm, and honest about the school. She gave me the reassurance that my son will be respected as an individual and his zest for learning will be the primary educational focus. Regardless of our final decision to attend Clonara, I just wanted to let you know that I will be walking away with a very positive image of the school."
