Cloverleaf Priorities

Community

Joining Cloverleaf means becoming part of a caring, connected community of homeschool families. Our classrooms are led by state-licensed teachers who are experts in their subjects and in creating warm, inclusive environments where every child feels valued.

Students form meaningful connections with peers and develop supportive relationships with adults who invest in their growth. They practice collaboration, empathy, and respect in a setting where curiosity and individuality are celebrated. Families also become part of this community, sharing experiences, supporting one another, and contributing to a school culture built on trust and care.

Each spring, we survey our families and are proud of what they report: children enjoy attending Cloverleaf, parents appreciate the teachers’ guidance and the academic enrichment provided, and most importantly, families enthusiastically recommend our school to others.

Social/Emotional Learning

Supporting students’ social and emotional growth is a core priority at Cloverleaf. In 2019, we revised our mission statement and added a dedicated daily block focused on this area. During this time, students explore topics such as how stress affects the brain, calming strategies, and friendship skills.

Our approach is guided by the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) framework, which helps students develop:

  • Self-Awareness – recognizing emotions and strengths
  • Self-Management – managing stress and setting goals
  • Social Awareness – showing empathy and understanding others
  • Relationship Skills – building healthy connections and resolving conflicts
  • Responsible Decision-Making – making thoughtful, ethical choices

Through these experiences, students strengthen both their sense of self and their sense of community—preparing them to thrive in learning and in life.

Cloverleaf Curriculum

A key benefit of enrolling at Cloverleaf is access to free curriculum to support and supplement your home education program. As a Douglas County public school, Cloverleaf receives partial funding from the state, which helps provide homeschool curriculum for families at no additional cost.

Curriculum is available for many core subjects, and families may choose to use some, all, or none of it—giving you flexibility to tailor your child’s learning at home. It’s important to note that this curriculum is separate from what teachers use during the enrichment classes at Cloverleaf each week.

Each spring, families have the opportunity to view and select from a variety of curriculum options. The process is simple:

  • April: Order forms are distributed
  • May: Parents place their orders
  • June: Curriculum is distributed for use in the following school year

This program helps families offset the cost of homeschooling while providing high-quality resources to support student learning at home.
