About Us

Clayborne Education is committed to supporting students, parents, schools, and communities in their quest for a brighter future. With a strong focus on personalized learning and one-to-one engagement, our community of educators has been fostering academic excellence in the greater Charlottesville area and beyond for nearly fifteen years. Our range of programs, carefully tailored to meet the needs of each student, have consistently delivered remarkable outcomes for individuals from diverse backgrounds. At Clayborne Education, we understand and appreciate the uniqueness of every client, and that’s why our programs are designed with each student in mind.

Vision

We envision a future in which students flourish more completely because we honor their history, individuality, and community. In the same vein, we envision a more robust suite of scholarship offerings, so that no student is denied expert college or graduate school prep. Finally, we seek not only to grow into new geographic areas, but also to cultivate more fruitful partnerships with schools and nonprofits.

In short, we see a world in which our mission is fully realized: For parents, peace of mind. For students, a better future.

Values

We exist to help students, families, schools, and communities thrive. Here are some core commitments that we embrace as we pursue this mission:

Relationships

We build rapport and trust with students, families, and other stakeholders in the community’s educational mission.

Hospitality

We view our centers as safe havens where students can let their guards down; rest from their anxieties; and find confidence, refreshment, and encouragement.

Generosity

We delight in returning a portion of the abundance with which we have been blessed by sharing our services.

Fun

Whether it’s the games you find scattered around our centers, our corny senses of humor, our nerdy enthusiasm for tests and learning, or our energy and zest for our work, we share a sense of fun that lifts the spirits of our students.

Holistic Approach

It’s been said that “tests are standardized, but students are not.” Understanding the power of individualized instruction means offering wisdom, not just knowledge; addressing anxiety, not just aptitude; and producing confidence, not just competence. As a result, our students leave us with renewed motivation and hope.

Integrity

We seek to extend the same level of service to every client regardless of socioeconomic status. Rather than pushing unnecessary services, we seek to provide those services that are truly needed.

Professionalism and Excellence

We employ best practices, communicate promptly and effectively with clients, and pursue optimal outcomes for every student entrusted to us.
