St. Gregory The Great

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.
