What Parents Have to Say
“Corlears is more than a school, it’s a community of family and friends that considers equity and inclusion as core pieces to learning and or the exchange of ideas and information. It has provided both my children with academic readiness, an understanding of collective responsibility and the confidence to share and welcome solutions for “why.”
Regina S.Corlears Parent
“Corlears has been a great school for our son and our family. Our son has learned to be a flexible thinker which has helped him excel in all subjects, and especially math. The school also instills its students with a strong sense of self, as well as an understanding of their community-members and the world at large.”
