Clarence East School
Clarence East School: Nurturing Minds Since 1832
Education has been a cornerstone of Clarence, with the first dedicated school building constructed in 1832. Over time, the original structure proved too small and was relocated, with the current Clarence East School building emerging in 1891.
The school, operational until the 1960s, now serves as a community hub, preserved by the Clarence Community Club for future generations. Since 2022, the building has been a registered Municipal Heritage Property, signifying its architectural and historical value.
Today, the site of the former School house (3337 Clarence Road), hosts the current Clarence East School, which was built in 1891. This property has continued to play a significant role in the community, most recently with the Clarence Country Market's held from June to November each year!
“Community buildings like this help to define a sense of community, and a place to call home”
