Why the Carden Curriculum ?
The Carden curriculum, developed in 1934 by Mae Carden, is a proven and well established system of learning. It has been used in hundreds of schools, both public and private, across the nation. The Carden curriculum develops the whole child – academically, socially, emotionally and physically. The academic needs of students are well met with a strong emphasis on the academic subjects. Academic subjects are taught in small groups (math, reading, and language) and in whole group lessons (science, social studies, and spelling). The curriculum is sequential, building from one year to the next. The Carden curriculum works – that is why we choose to use it.
