Clearwater Bay School

We are a family centred school, which means that we are committed to providing an educational environment in which all our students feel safe, happy and at home. We work very hard to develop good parent teacher relationships, and to provide a warm, caring and supportive place for students to learn. We want our students to develop empathy for others, confidence, responsibility and a strong desire to learn and achieve their best.

As an International Baccalaureate World School we strive to provide a high quality international education for all students. We offer the Primary Years Program (PYP) which is an engaging and challenging inquiry program that fosters students’ intellectual, social, emotional, physical and cultural development. We aim to develop students who are internationally minded and who act to make a difference in the world. WE ask to support our efforts by reinforcing our school values expressed through the IB learner profile. “A learning community working together to develop internationally minded students who act to make a better world”
