The School Seal has eight elements, which mean thus:
Spelled out, this turns out into a powerful prophecy: “Christ’s Love and Righteousness Over the Nation.” It is our declaration and our faith that with the Lord’s love and righteousness hung over us like a banner, The CLARION School will be able to raise a mighty generation in the land.
This stands for God’s eternal love. It has no beginning and no end – He loves the children, from the time He knit them in their mothers’ womb. The innermost circle, which holds the rest of the school’s elements, symbolizes wholeness and holistic development. The clarion school makes the unwavering commitment to offer this kind of education.
The Sword stands for the champion warrior in each child. It is our bold declaration that each child will win the war against ignorance, poverty, and hidden intellectual hunger. It is our statement that each child, raised in God’s righteousness, will be able to overcome whatever trying circumstance he finds himself in.
The Shield and the crossed lines in it stand for the Cross, the symbol of the Lord’s redemptive work in our lives.
Most importantly, the Sword symbolizes the Word of God while the Shield stands for our Faith in the Lord.
The clarion, in the olden days, is used to sound a clear call to mighty warriors: come to battle. In these days, the battleground has moved from physical to various planes: knowledge versus ignorance, provision versus poverty, competence versus ineptitude, excellence versus mediocrity, integrity versus corruption, among others. It is against this backdrop that the Clarion represents to us the call to the nations for action, and the response it generates that comes from Champions.
The Torch stands for the legacy of leadership. In the same manner that the athletes pass the blazing Torch from one to another during the opening of the Olympic Games, so will The CLARION School pass the vision of a brighter tomorrow to the children. The sturdy handle of the Torch stands for trustworthiness, unshakable confidence in God, loyalty and depth of character.
The yellow flame symbolizes creativity and optimism for better times; it stands for the children’s energy, joy, cheerfulness and warmth, and the School’s happiness at the honor of being entrusted with such precious charges. The orange core of the flame is a promise of ambition, new dawn and attitude. The flame itself stands for the purifying power of the Holy Spirit.
The papyrus Scroll represents our quest for new knowledge, for wisdom, discovery, and history.
This stands for courage, for insight bravely expressed, and intelligence that brings positive change to the nation for the nation.
