We switched our older daughter to Carden between 1st and 2nd grade and have LOVED everything about the school and how they have helped her grow since!! The class sizes are much smaller, which means more attention and learning for your loved one. There is a lot less "busy work" and more focused/directed learning. The girls in her class are so sweet to one another and the other parents do an excellent job engaging. Communication between the teacher, director, and parents is WONDERFUL. I feel we have been able to spend more time having fun together as a family and a lot less time monitoring projects, all while our daughter is learning so much in school! We are fortunate that our younger child has been enrolled since preschool, so she will get the next 11 years at Carden!

This is a fantastic school. It is a fun, safe school where the kids are encouraged to challenge themselves academically. My kids love their teachers and friends here. They have a music program, Spanish classes, cooking, yoga, a school vegetable garden and other fun programs. The kids learn to organize themselves and tend to do well academically.

This school has been an amazing experience for our family. The classroom environment is friendly and everyone is eager to learn. It is wonderful to see all of the students interacting with each other, and no bulling of other students. Both of my children attend Carden, and it is great that there is no struggle going to school in the morning. They are both ready to go and happy to be at school.
