I went to Carden for 4th, 5th, 6th grade. When I entered the school I could not read, write or do any sort of math (And I was coming from one of the most expensive private schools in Portland). Unfortunately I was unable to attend for 7th and 8th At Carden. However when I transferred to another pr...
I love this school! This is my 7th year there and I have two children there. The focus is on perseverance, good manners and kind behavior. Academics are very strong and each child gets to learn at her own pace. I love the fact that they have PE and Mandarin three times a week and have superb music a...

I called there just to ask some questions. The office staff was rude and impatient with me on the phone. Why would I send my children there if they cannot even be civil over the phone?
This used to be great school, but the administration s attitude changed the feel of the school in single year. The staff, parents, volunteers, and children are not treated kindly, shown respect, or appreciation. The attitude is my way or the highway. Parents who speak up are asked to leave the...
I worked there as a music teacher for a year and a half and loved it. Incredible school. There is a wonderful sense of community at CCA among the staff, teachers, students and parents alike. In my opinion, Carden schools offer the best curriculum available. Carden teaches children to think, anal...
