She graduated from a private Christian school and is now attending Degrassi, along with her older sister, Darcy. Clare wore her old uniform to school every day because she didn't care what other people thought of her, and only had a desire to learn at Degrassi, not to impress boys.
In Uptown Girl (2), in order to prove that she doesn't care what other people think, K.C. dares her to do a talent in front of the whole cafeteria.

Mrs. Edwards does not want to talk to Clare about it. Later, her mother apologizes, and asks Clare if she has any questions, which she does. The next day, Clare and Alli discuss what happened, and Clare says it was unquestionably awkward. Holly J. insults Clare, saying "Starting with sex toys early, Little Edwards? What would Jesus say?" However, Clare comes back at her, replying "that masturbation is normal, and nobody should be embarrassed about it. And maybe if you tried it once in a while, you wouldn't be so mean." This causes several people outside, including Alli, to laugh, while an irritated Holly J. scoffs and walks away.
In Lost in Love, both K.C. and Connor ask Clare to the Sweetheart Dance. The two boys start fighting over Clare, only to have her deny them both. Later on, she regrets this decision and decides to go with K.C., making Connor feel rejected.

In Wise Up,
Appearance & Style
Clare's look has met a drastic change every school year. In her freshman year, Clare wore a very formal uniform to school everyday. This consisted of a white shirt, dark navy blue sweater vest, and red clad skirt. She would always tie her hair in a ponytail, and wore glasses. This look showed off Clare's belief that she "didn't care" what others thought of her. She was very serious about her look, but did not judge others, like Alli or Connor for theirs. This was all until Alli gave her a makeover. From this point on she wore her sister's old clothes, earning her attention from many boys.
In her sophomore year, Clare changed her look completely. She cut her hair short and got laser eye surgery, so she no longer needed glasses. She began to wear bright colors, complete with her trademark denim jackets. This year, her look also required a change, as the uniforms arrived, putting Clare back into her formal habit. At one point, she changed her look altogether, wearing rocker clothing, highlights, and striped leggings in retaliation of her parents arguing, but quickly changed back.
In her junior year, Clare's hair grew a few inches. She almost always wore a black cotton jacket over her now red school shirt. After the uniforms were no longer in place, Clare did not completely return to her casual attire. She instead dressed more formally, wearing suit jackets and floral skirts, as she had begun to go after her career choices.
During the summer before her senior year, Clare decides to shave off her hair due to her chemotherapy and cancer. So, she starts to wear wigs that Imogen and Adam helped her pick out. Clare's hair grew back with one side that has a long piece of hair and others have short. In Season 14, Clare's hair grew more and possibly will go back to her Season 10 look.

Jake: You're lame.
- (To Jake): "Stop. I thought about kissing Eli... to get back at you."
- Eli: "So, what do you think? Even though the Grundy's didn't nominate my play, I tried to remain objective.

Eli: "Yeah, you should've seen my first draft." - Eli: "Were you really worried that us hanging out would set me off?"
