An inspiring school which serves the needs of a broad community. Recently expanded to Middle School. Colorful, informative hallways welcome you, quiet, thoughtful lines of students travel the hallways. A steady buzz of activity emanates from the rooms. Kindergarten classrooms are bright and organized, with varied collections of excellent books, classroom lending libraries, and diverse activities. Academic standards are high. Parent outreach and involvement is very committed. An undiscovered gem.

The staff is very warm and supportive of all the students. There is a population of autistic students in the building and you couldn't tell just by visiting because the love and support they receive at Camden makes those students fit in with everyone else.
