Hands-on, Explorative Learning.
Tahoe’s Premier Catholic School
NOW Serving Grades PreK3 - 12th
A Montessori-inspired, classical approach to educating students in grades 7-12, operated by St. Clare’s Tahoe.
Inspired by Saint Clare’s love of the eucharist with school wide participation in weekly mass and adoration, our mission is to help students know the Truth, love the Good, appreciate the Beautiful, and to grow into the fullness of their created potential. Saint Clare’s strives to be a light to our community, drawing families into the love of Christ and the fellowship of our Catholic community through a vibrant, faithful Catholic school.
“I have studied the child. I have taken what the child has given me and expressed it and that is what is called the Montessori method.”
-Maria Montessori
joyfully catholic
vibrant community and caring atmosphere
Inspired by Saint Clare’s devotion to the Eucharist, we place Christ in the center of our days. We are committed to providing a quality Catholic Christian education to North Lake Tahoe. Prayer and the Sacraments are the center of our lives, and we seek to touch those around us with the tender love and compassion of Jesus.
authentically montessori
child-centered learning guided by certified montessori teachers
With the opportunity to work for extended periods of time in peace and full concentration, children become calm and joyful. They learn with ease through their interaction with the environment, while the teacher serves as an observant guide, understanding each student's growth and providing the materials for deeper understanding at just the right time. The fruits of a successful Montessori program are children who love learning and are fully engaged in their own self-development.
boldly adventurous
integrated outdoor learning & weekly adventures
At Saint Clare's, we get our hands dirty--literally--spending as much time as possible out of doors. We take full advantage of the beautiful Lake Tahoe basin: weekly outings include hiking, kayaking, skiing and more. Saint Clare's enables each child to bloom in an experience that is dynamic, challenging, and filled with adventure, fun, and laughter.
