Carden Cascade Academy

We transferred our son to Carden after bad experience in public school and love the school. Key benefits: => Classical & Challenging Curriculum: math, grammar, literature, writing, history, geography, languages, sciences, programming, debate, P.E., music art All subjects that are needed in order to raise well-rounded children & all taught by incredibly dedicated, amazing teachers. => Manners: the kids are taught to behave in kind & respectful manner. It is woven into the curriculum and activities, even into the language they use. I believe that this focus on respect ends up contributing to the academic achievement. The kids are respectufl and the teachers can teach. => Kids Stay Kids Longer: There are no cliques or gossip, not even in middle school. When recess comes, the kids have fun playing games (capture the flag, tag, hide&seek ). They look happy. => Focus on Perseverance and Hard Work: my son is finally challenged, has to work hard, and is rewarded for his hard work. To me, these are the most important skills he should gain at school, and I couldn t be happier with how Carden instills these values in him. All in all, Carden is truly great school and I recommend it.

This is a wonderful school. We left the public school system because our 11 year old was being overlooked and left behind. She is now thriving in the supportive and caring atmosphere of this school. The Carden curriculum is extremely challenging but very rewarding as well. The staff are all tremendously dedicated and talented. I can't speak highly enough of this school. I only wish that every child could have the opportunity to learn in such a special environment.

Superb school providing an excellent educational foundation along with good behavior and confident personality development. Both my children go the school, daughter in 7th and son in 3rd and they wont consider going anywhere else. My children love to go to school and are thriving, we couldn't ask for more. The best teachers and principal, for whom teaching is a passion and not just a job. Great caring environment with full day school and extended after school activities, that are both fun and continued learning. Two superbly done school plays in fall and spring where every child is on stage with a special role, are lifetime treasures for the students. Art, Music, Computers, Science, additional languages and so much more, enrich the student experience.

This is a truly unique and wonderful program. I have two daughters enrolled and they have never done better. The program is accelerated and individualized so no child gets left in the background and everyone is given the attention they deserve. My 1st grader is able to do 2nd grade reading and acting in plays at 6, thanks to Carden. And the teachers actually care. I highly recommend it.

I would rate the concept and the curriculum of this school real good. The school can be run better. But I wont blame on the school even as this is a small school and they need parents support and enrollment and trust to grow. My son is very happy and has friendly staff. I like the academics and art mixture and of all I like the concept they have these school plays where every student gets a chance to participate and perform in front of the audience, to boost their confidence. Do, check it out. Might be small, but it cannot grow if everyone thinks it is small.

A very good curriculum, in a poorly run school. Look elsewhere.
