History
The Carden Method, developed by Mae Carden over half a century ago and employed in schools throughout the world, is designed to help children develop their innate powers of analytic and organized thinking in a balanced and challenging environment. Carden Day School was established in 2002 by a parent who believed in the method and what it had done and would continue to do for her children. Many of the staff have been with the school since the beginning, and are strong proponents of this classical education.
Specialties
We provide our junior kindergarten through eighth grade students with a superior, well-rounded education using small group instruction. Children develop character, self-confidence, creativity, and communication skills needed to share their gifts with the world. Carden Day School Of San Jose strives to nurture and develop the whole child through classic academic structure, rich fine arts, science and technology programs, service opportunities, and an environment filled with respect and humor. Knowing that artistic and intellectual expression must come from within, teachers at Carden Day School integrate knowledge from year to year and grade to grade so that information is not isolated, but woven seamlessly.
