Innovation Lab
At Clairbourn, we provide students with diverse experiences in technology and design thinking. In addition to core classes, our students can further their exploration in the Innovation Lab classes. Design thinking is emphasized alongside instruction in a wide range of computer applications. Besides familiarizing themselves with basic technology skills such as word processing and presentation software, students engage with 3D design, computer simulations, digital photography, coding, robotics, stop motion animation and digital art design. The I-Lab teacher collaborates closely with classroom teachers on projects aimed at enhancing instructional objectives. -
Languages
Acquiring additional languages and understanding other cultures are important life skills. Clairbourn’s Spanish program fosters an appreciation for diversity and the unique contributions of Spanish speaking cultures. -
The Arts
The visual arts program is broad and students learn about influential artists, the elements of design and the principles of art. Projects encourage careful observation, individual expression, imagination, problem-solving, skill development and a growth mindset.

Fourth and fifth-grade students select a wind instrument to focus on and sixth through eighth-grade students can join the school band. Besides the public speaking opportunities throughout the school year, students also participate in drama productions, from the second-grade Character Matters musical to the middle schoolers performing in Clairbourn’s after-school theater (CAST) and eighth-grade Winnie-the-Pooh play.
