Life After Clanmore: Alumni Share Their Journeys
In December, we welcomed back a group of Clanmore Montessori School graduates for a special Graduate Reflections Panel, an event we host periodically to reconnect with alumni and offer current students and families a meaningful glimpse into life beyond Clanmore. Moderated by one of the school’s founders, Grace Kidney, the conversation brought together voices from multiple graduating years, each sharing their experiences with openness, humour, and thoughtful insight.
Our alumni spoke candidly about their transition into high school and the skills and habits that continue to support them. They also reflected on how their Montessori foundation shaped their confidence, independence, and sense of community.
Watch below as they reflect on:
- Navigating new academic environments
- Building strong organizational and time‑management skills
- Advocating for themselves in larger school settings
- Maintaining curiosity and intrinsic motivation
- Forming meaningful connections with peers and teachers
Moments like these remind us how powerful it is to stay connected with the young people who have grown within our walls and carried their Clanmore experience into new chapters.
