What makes us Clearwater Academy? With tailor-made programs at Clearwater Academy, each individual student is our priority. Students are personally tested upon entering the school in order to find areas of skill and areas that need improvement. After testing, every student receives a personally designed program for the grade that they are entering. Each program contains all of the steps they need to do to complete that grade. Not only does this happen when a new student enters the school, but this level of individual attention occurs every time a student graduates from one grade to the next.
