Chinese Language Learning

Both teachers and students use Chinese in the classroom, making learning more engaging and fun.

Monthly school-wide morning meeting

Clermont students participate in a monthly school-wide morning meeting to help build a strong sense of community for the entire school. During the school-wide morning meeting, staff and students set a positive tone for the day by welcoming each other and sharing school-wide news. In addition, we take the time to enhance social-emotional learning and encourage cross-grade interactions. The school-wide morning meeting is an inclusive atmosphere where everyone participates, and ultimately contributes to building a sense of community.

Inclusive classrooms for students with disabilities

Clermont staff takes great pride in focusing on serving our students with disabilities in the inclusion classroom setting as much as possible. This model fosters natural social interaction, improves communication, and can increase self-esteem for our students with disabilities. By creating inclusive and supportive learning environments, we can ensure that all students, regardless of their abilities, have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Meet our special education staff!
