About

At Clarke Street School, it’s all about relationships – with educators, with classmates, with yourself.

Our teachers are world changers who inspire about 200 K4 to eighth-grade students to love themselves, be kind and be prepared. Clarke Street scholars prepare for high school, college, and career success in the classroom, in our after-school academic enrichment program, during extracurricular activities, and through tutoring partnerships focused on reading proficiency. Technology is blended into daily learning.

Clarke Street School provides a welcoming and safe learning environment within our spacious, Cream City-brick classrooms – and beyond. Students will have more to experience and explore in 2024, when the school’s new playground, outdoor classrooms, and home economics lab open. Students enjoy learning to connect and respect through social-emotional lessons that promote calmness and kindness. Attendance incentives strengthen school pride and boost student attendance. Our school uniform creates a sense of unity and helps keep students focused on character development and academic achievement. Clarke Street School even has a favorite book, “I Am Enough.” Look for a copy of it in our library during an open house or school tour.
