Our mission at The Clifton School is to “cultivate a community which respects and nurtures the rights of the learner in an environment that fosters life-long learning through collaboration, compassion, creativity, wonder, and curiosity.”

We believe each child has a strong personal identity and possesses great learning potential that is to be recognized, appreciated, and nurtured by educators. Our faculty receives on-going training to ensure we provide this environment for learning.

The Curriculum Expectations encompasses The Clifton School’s philosophies and core values and translates them into a guidebook for teachers — a reference for environments, documentation, family relationships, teacher/child interactions, positive guidance, and more.
