My daughter has been a student at Carden since 1st grade and is now preparing to graduate from 8th. While investigating high school options, I have been pleased to find what I suspected all along. She will be very well prepared for high school, she will be very well prepared for college, and she will

When visiting the local public high school, we found that she is well above freshman level in math, English, and literature. She has demonstrated successful skills not only because she is smart, but also because she has received excellent preparation from outstanding and supportive teachers. She has learned to respect others, present herself well, and be proud of her own achievements. Carden has been worth every penny! Read less

Sending my two daughters to Carden has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Equipped with a strong academic curriculum, a dedicated and diligent staff, a strong and devoted Head of School, and excellent outdoor educational opportunities, Carden has succeeded in providing my daughters with
... Read more an exceptional foundation for success. It is just as important to note that Carden cares as much about a student s development of character as it does of his/her academic success. At Carden, students are encouraged to strive for and demonstrate the highest levels of respect, courage, honesty, and responsibility. One more thing I would like to mention is that when your children attend a school such as Carden, they not only have the ability to attend any one of the best high schools in the nation, they will be well equipped to be successful there and in college as well. This alone speaks for Carden s excellence in educating and in developing the whole child for success! Read less

Carden has been a wonderful environment for our children. Having compared my Jr. High daughter to those of friends in other schools(Ok, I know you're not supposed to compare, but come on, we all do!!) I find her more organized, self-reliant and responsible. I believe this is due to the teachers and

Carden is not a good school. Academically, CAVS is weak. Just examine the messages written by CAVS students on this site. They are full of grammatical mistakes. CAVS does do a good job of creating a safe, artificial environment for its students. The teachers, however, are sub-par -- and that's generous.
... Read more Our children currently attend a public high school. Three other former CAVS students also attend this school. Each of them has struggled mightily academically and socially. In contrast, our children have succeeded. This is true, I believe, because we removed them from CAVS prior to the 5th grade. If you need a school that creates a make-believe environment to protect your children from the realities of life, CAVS is the place for you. If you want strong, academically-prepared children who will be able to thrive in the real world, CAVS is not for you. Read less
