Clear Spring received Giving Tree Grant

The Clear Spring School recently received support from the Carroll County Community Foundation's Giving Tree grant to help the school expand outdoor educational spaces with the purchase of picnic tables. Next time you are on campus you will see picnic tables being used all over campus. The grant also supported some purchases of PPE for the school including thermometers, sanitizer, and masks to help Clear Spring School offset some of the expenses incurred by protecting students and teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are grateful for the support from the grant and the students are enjoying the expanded outdoor educational spaces.

It’s the beginning of our 50th year at Clear Spring school and there is joy and laughter once again across campus.  Old friends reunited, new friends have been made, year long games of tag have started, and the playground is busy once more. As we look towards the next 50 years, we have a renewed commitment to our mission and values, a renewed sense of purpose. With a firm grounding in our roots of progressive, individualized, multi-sensory education, we are confident our graduates will be able to rise to the challenges of the 21st century. 

​

In conversations with friends, those in academia as well as the private sector, one common theme about education stood out; High school graduates are not prepared. From critical and creative thinking skills, to team collaborations, to basic communication skills, students are entering the workforce and academia woefully unequipped.  The skill sets and education needed to face the challenges of the 21st century are no longer being fulfilled in the traditional system. 

 

They are, however, at the root of educational philosophy. We look forward to meeting the challenges of the next 50 years standing true to our character: creatively, collaboratively, and critically evaluating our progress, while constantly communicating and engaging with the community.
