Back to Basics
Carden places a strong emphasis on language arts and mathematics within a values based curriculum. Small class sizes enable the teachers to provide an exceptional program aligned with the Arizona State Standards implemented through the national Carden Instruction Method. In addition to the "Back to Basics" structure in the core subjects, the school provides instruction in French, Health, Physical Education, Computers, Art and Music
The Carden Vision is comprehensive. It focuses on a safe, fun and intimate campus to which students willingly and enthusiastically attend and about which parents feel secure and comfortable. It encompasses small classes that foster a family-type environment in which every student can grow commensurate with his ability. It includes a visionary administration that sets and maintains high academic standards for all students, and encourages continued professional growth of all staff members. Central to this vision is a faculty that loves children, enjoys teaching, and is committed to helping their students master the Carden, State, and National Curriculum Standards, as well as their own continued professional growth.
