The goal of Carden Day School is to develop

They learn to appreciate and enjoy various
cultural aspects of life. The core academic
program includes language arts, mathematics,
social studies, science, STEAM
and foreign language (French at all grade
levels). Students benefit from instruction
by special subject teachers in the areas of
Daily PE, music, art, poetry, art appreciation,
geography, civics and map skills. Superior
study habits combined with critical
thinking and self-discipline are integrated
into each aspect of the curriculum. The administration

environment filled with love for learning.
And the school’s success has been proven
