Stanley Clark School

In 1958, Professor and Mrs. L. Leon Bernard opened the Cleland School, an independent tuition-supported school in a "little brown house" on Eddy Street in South Bend, Indiana. The school was named in honor of Mrs. Bernard's grandmother who was a teacher in North Carolina. In the first year, students were accepted for kindergarten and first grade.

As grades were added each year, Cleland moved into the Moose Lodge on Jefferson Boulevard, and later onto the Fish Estate, also located on Jefferson. In 1964, the Board of Trustees purchased the Hoffman Estate at 3123 Miami Street and changed the name to The Stanley Clark School in honor of a prominent physician of the South Bend, Mishawaka, and Elkhart areas. After the capital funds were raised, the necessary construction was completed, converting the estate into a school. Faculty and students moved in on November 9, 1965.

The Stanley Clark School enrolls children from preschool through eighth grade. The Stanley Clark School prepares academically qualified students in a
traditional setting for responsible, productive, and rewarding lives
through a challenging, multifaceted education in a nurturing environment.
