Welcome to Claren Academy
Founded in 2017, Claren Academy is an independent elementary school in downtown Vancouver, created by parents seeking a future-focused education rooted in creativity, technology and entrepreneurship. Today, our dedicated educators bring that vision to life.
Why You’ll Love It Here
At Claren Academy, we prepare students for the real future with a focus on creativity, technology and entrepreneurship. As the school expands by one grade each year, educators have the opportunity to shape its direction, introduce new ideas and grow professionally.
We offer a flexible, innovative environment where your contributions make a visible impact. Leadership supports new approaches with resources, mentorship and professional development. Teachers work collaboratively, take part in regular outings across Vancouver and are part of a vibrant, engaged community.
What We Value
Claren Academy teaches students to use technology as a tool for creation. Our approach evolves with the changing world, combining strong academics, practical skills and a love of learning.
Teachers benefit from small class sizes, quality resources and ongoing development. The school fosters a collaborative, forward-thinking environment where ideas are welcomed and innovation encouraged.
What Makes Us Unique
We use a mixed-age model and team-teach small groups, ensuring personalized learning with a student-to-teacher ratio of 15 to 1. Our downtown campus is bright and modern, and daily excursions around Vancouver enrich our curriculum.
We invest in immersive tech education. Each student has an iPad, and teachers are equipped with laptops. Educator input drives our use of new tools, apps and programs to enhance learning.
Our School Community
At Claren, we combine small class sizes, a downtown location, mixed-age learning and a strong focus on technology.
Our progressive and flexible approach prepares students for the future and gives educators a rare opportunity to help shape meaningful change in education.
Living in Yaletown
Located in Yaletown, Claren Academy is surrounded by Vancouver’s best cultural, recreational and educational resources. Our students regularly visit nearby parks, libraries, museums and community centres — making the city an extension of our classroom.
Staff have access to convenient commuting options, such as the SkyTrain, bike lanes and underground parking. The neighbourhood features restaurants, fitness studios, galleries and theatres — all within walking distance.
We value work-life balance and encourage our team to explore everything Vancouver has to offer, from Kits Beach and Stanley Park, to the mountains and vibrant neighbourhoods across the city.
Salary and Benefits

We also offer a generous health benefits plan, RRSP contributions as salary top-ups and visa sponsorship for exceptional candidates.
SUPPORT FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
