Carden Academy of Whittier has been an incredible place for our family. What sets this school apart…read moreis its commitment to academic excellence while still nurturing each child as an individual. The teachers truly know their students and invest in both their educational and personal growth. The curriculum is rigorous and prepares students exceptionally well for high school and beyond. At the same time, the school emphasizes character, responsibility, respect, and confidence--qualities that are just as important as academics. Communication with families is excellent, and the administration is approachable, caring, and genuinely dedicated to the success of every student. The campus has a warm, family-like atmosphere where children are encouraged to challenge themselves while feeling supported. If you're looking for a private school that combines strong academics, high expectations, and a caring community, I highly recommend Carden Academy of Whittier. We are grateful to be part of such a special school.

I am a PICKY parent...lol. I searched and searched for a school that I would love, and after 6+…read moreschools, I found Carden of Whittier! It was important for me that my child was NOT another number, but an individual, with an identity. That my family would be known on a first name basis, and that her school would truly be " a home away form home"! Academics had to be strong, class size had to be small, campus had to be clean and in a nice area. Carden met all of these needs. Carden has helped me raise my daughter into a strong, intelligent young lady. She is more than prepared for her academic future! She carries herself with pride, can communicate well and has huge aspirations for her future..I know this school has a lot to do with all of the above! Thank you Carden!

The special education…read moreteachers back in 2013 were completely unprofessional -- they would yell at students for not 'paying attention,' even when we were stimming or overwhelmed. My experience there left me with lasting trauma, and to this day, it's still triggering to think about. I would never recommend this school for any child with mental disabilities or special needs.

I would not recommend this school to other families. My daughter's experience here has been deeply…read moredisappointing and, at times, distressing. Several teachers have treated her in ways that felt more intimidating than supportive, which has made attending school incredibly difficult for her. We also reached out to the counseling staff for help, but unfortunately, the support we hoped for never materialized. Instead of feeling heard or assisted, my daughter left those interactions feeling even more uncomfortable and discouraged. As a result, she has developed significant anxiety tied directly to her experience with the staff. School should be a place where children feel safe, encouraged, and supported in their growth. That has not been our experience. I strongly urge other parents to carefully consider whether this environment would be the right fit for their child.

This school is not for parents who want their children to excell in math, science and English. Their focus is biblical teaching masked as the REACH character traits. I was deeply concerned that this school and school district emphasized character traits without adequately addressing academic focus and goals. I also was disappointment with the lack of a strong foundational skills in math, reading, and writing. We are very happy at Hutchson Middle School in La Mirada.

This is where I went to kindergarten. I remember absolutely loving school here, but that's…read moreprobably due mainly to the fact that I had a huge crush (my first!) on my teacher, Miss Pasic. I apologize, Miss Pasic, if I'm misspelling your name, but I didn't know how to read or write in kindergarten. In additional to normal kindergarten things, which were really cool, there is a really fun play area that only the two kindergarten classrooms have access to during the school day. You used to be able to sneak into this play area, but they might lock the gate now. They also had some sort of big party thing that involved a cake-decorating competition, which I won (with 95 percent of the work having been done by my dad). I don't have any idea how large the crowd was, but it seemed massive to me (I was five). The cake was really cool. It was a race car with Goofy in it, and it was my idea to use donuts for the wheels. This school is also cool because it has multiple levels and because they offer classes for kids in the summer. I took one about reptiles and another one that I can't remember.
