Love the education this school provides. My daughter has been in Carmen since she was in 2nd grade and she is now in 7th grade. She has advanced so much and always exceeds in the standardized testing, and the fees are ridiculously cheap for what they provide, I highly recommend this school, and am not Adventist am a nondenomination.

Carman Adventist School positively impacts my life professionally and personally. Having served as the principal the past two years, I enjoy close relationships with my faculty, families, and students. Our students genuinely enjoy spending time with Jesus and each other as they learn more about the world God has provided us! As a principal and a parent, I am grateful for the support of Marietta Adventist Church and their willingness to provide a safe space for our children to grow!

Carman Adventist School has been a God-send for our family. Mrs. Helbley and my son's teacher have provided a wonderful, loving, Christian environment, while working with us to address some specific concerns about my son's behavior and maturity. Academically, my son has been challenged with creative learning techniques and hands-on projects. He is pushed to learn more, but the teacher and principal have worked to make sure learning is fun and not overwhelming. I highly recommend Carman Adventist School!!
