School Notes:
- Carden's time-tested, quality curriculum has been consistently teaching children for over 70 years nationwide. The curriculum begins with three-year-old children and continues through the eighth grade, each level reinforcing and building upon the strengths gained by the student from the previous year. The curriculum places a heavy emphasis on a solid foundation in the core academics along with critical thinking, as well as visual, fine and performing arts, fitness and wellness, and character building. Each child benefits since the program is tailored to the individual strengths of the child.
