The Story of Clerestory Learning

Clerestory (CLEAR-story) is an architectural term describing a window placed high on a wall that allows natural light to flood a room. The light reveals the room’s contents, clearly defining the room’s purpose—its meaning and significance.

In the same way, Clerestory Learning illuminates the minds of educators and students, helping them develop understanding through meaningful, well-articulated programs. Clerestory Learning maintains excellence in professional development and training programs by creating effective instructional solutions based on sound applications of multidisciplinary research. We keep growing because we want to offer educators and students our best.

We invite you to keep growing with us by scheduling or attending a Clerestory Learning event. When teachers take their own professional development seriously, students learn, think, and thrive. Your students need you at your best.
