Laurel Elementary School

Hello, I'm a Carden alum here now in my late twenties. How wonderful it is to stumble on this resource! Years later, I am living in New York City, having gone to a college that parents are proud of, and I am very happy with how things turned out – not just for how it looks from the outside, but how I feel inside. Here are my thoughts on having gone to Carden: -Carden awarded me some unique talents: beautiful cursive handwriting, unshakeable knowledge in writing and grammar, and fluency in the arts, albeit some of it in bad, puritanical taste. -Carden's teachers are nice and dedicated. Sure, there's always a bad egg in there – a mean old lady who resents the children more than she loves them. Leadership is alright, if a little paranoid. -You will read, and perform plays, and learn French for god's sake! It's an impressive thing to be able to say what "horse" in French is, in a split second! I am endlessly grateful I write in archaic cursive handwriting because this school would threaten to throw out your paper after the first grade if you wrote in print. My handwriting is a relic already now, but imagine when I am older? Sincerely – amazing, Carden. -I see Carden as a school that teaches kids to be themselves. Science, math, the arts, language, you have it – the school had a place for almost all kids.

I could not be any more happy to be able to send my daughter to daycare at Faith Lutheran. My daughter is only 2 years old and can count up to 25, she knows her colors and loves going to "school" everyday. I recommend Faith Lutheran to any mommy and daddy that wants and needs to go to work and wants that EXTRA peace of mind that your child is not only being taken care of but being taught at the same time.
