Clairlea Public School's Mission Statement
Clairlea Public School, located on Rosalind Crescent in Scarborough, first opened in 1952. In September 2002, the French Immersion program from Kindergarten to Grade 8 was introduced. We offer the unique opportunity of early French Immersion to interested Junior Kindergarten students and their families. We strive to enable all students to reach high levels of achievement and to acquire the knowledge, skills and values needed to become responsible members of society. We are committed to providing a learning environment that is safe, nurturing, positive and respectful. This is enabled through the active involvement of our students, staff, parents and community.
• Early French Immersion classes begin at Junior Kindergarten and continue through to Grade 8. Registration for this program takes place in early February for the following school year, according to TDSB guidelines.
A Greener School
Clairlea is a gold level Eco-School. Our students and staff are dedicated to reducing paper and energy consumption as well as creating a greener, more interactive school yard for students to play and learn in.

Clairlea's Physical Education Program
Our focus in Physical Education is long term skill development, the philosophy of "teaching games for understanding", sportsmanship and of course, having fun. We put emphasis on offering students opportunites to practice fundamental skills in a wide range of sports, however, the social and ethical themes prevalent in co-operative games are essential to our program.
