A TRANSFORMATIONAL VISION
The Corlears 50th Anniversary Campaign

In 2018, Corlears celebrated its 50th anniversary. In honor of this significant milestone, Corlears School embarked on a 5-year, $4 million campaign that goes beyond our physical structure; this campaign is focused on our heart. Over the past five years, Corlears has been building a truly innovative and transformational vision that is growing a new model for what a private school made just for young children can be.

Program Overview

A complete overview of our academic and auxiliary programs serving toddlers through elementary-aged children.

The world is interesting, and learning is fun. So why not teach children to discover it for themselves?

Curiosity drives our students to grow while they explore math, science, writing, and social justice issues to make sense of the world around them. Our expert teachers introduce big and challenging topics, and guide students as they expand their thinking and put new skills to the test — often in a real-world context in our own neighborhood. Literacy, quantitative reasoning, scientific inquiry, problem-solving, artistic expression, social and emotional learning, and social justice are incorporated into every child’s course of study at every age; so are Spanish, art, music, library, technology, and physical education.

Our older students go beyond typical classroom tests to demonstrate what they’ve learned in a tradition we call "culmination." This is when students are ready to "go public" with all that they have learned, harnessing their interests, skills, and talents to share what they’ve discovered to the broader community. This informative, museum-style experience is created by students and teachers, transforming their spaces to share their learning with their families and members of the school community. Past classrooms have been transformed into barber shops, voting precincts, newsrooms, tenements, and construction sites, showcasing the depth of students’ new knowledge in all types of subjects!

Educational Programs

Decades of deep thinking about early childhood education has gone into the development of the Corlears curriculum, and it shows in our graduates’ lifelong love of learning and their sense of responsibility to their community.
