    Not too bad of a school but it sure needs an upgrade to their cafeteria and playground! Overall great teachers and staff.

    A True Blessing for Our Family…read more Carden Academy has truly been a blessing for our two children. We came from a Catholic school and had been trying to make the transition to Carden for some time, but the difference in monthly tuition always made us hesitate. Eventually, we decided that prioritizing our children's education, smaller classroom sizes, and individualized attention was worth the sacrifice--and from the very first day, we knew we had made the right decision. One of the biggest differences we noticed was how much our children are actually learning and engaging. We wanted a school where they weren't simply completing assignments on an iPad or relying heavily on programs like i-Ready, but where they were being truly taught, challenged, and encouraged to think. At Carden, our kids are reading actual books, writing, participating, and receiving the personal attention they need to grow academically and confidently. Mrs. Carrion and the entire Carden staff are absolutely amazing. They genuinely care about the children and take the time to know their students and their families. The environment is warm, personal, and welcoming, and the staff is always approachable. Our daughter is only 4 years old, and we are amazed by how well she can already express herself and communicate her thoughts. Watching both of our children grow in confidence, independence, and academics has made every sacrifice completely worth it. I'm so excited to continue making this investment in their education because I can see how hard they both work--and I truly believe the high expectations, strong academics, and personal attention at Carden are helping them become stronger, more confident students. We are so grateful we made the decision to choose Carden Academy. It truly feels like our children are exactly where they are meant to be! thank you Carden

    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.

    UPDATE (April 2026): It is worth noting the suspicious…read moretiming of the most recent activity on this page. My initial review was posted three months ago. Prior to that, the most recent rating was a 2-star review from a year ago. Now, suddenly, within the last two weeks, there has been a wave of four 5-star reviews--some even mentioning the Principal by name. For parents doing their research: please take note of this pattern. It is quite a coincidence that after a year of silence, the school suddenly receives a surge of perfect ratings just as enrollment season peaks and my initial detailed review remains unaddressed. It appears the school is focused on "padding" their online image to drown out a parent's honest experience. Interestingly, looking back at the school's history, there are older reviews (if you filter 1 star reviews) from 9 years ago documenting that previous administrations also solicited 'glowing reviews' from parents. It seems that instead of evolving, the school has maintained a long-standing pattern of prioritizing image management over addressing the root causes of parent concerns. A sudden spike in positive comments doesn't erase the documented favoritism and safety concerns I've detailed in my original review below. [Original Review Below January 2026] I truly wanted to support this school, but after a year, I had to withdraw my daughter for her own well-being. The environment is deeply toxic, specifically regarding a practice known as 'rage baiting.' This is a form of targeted harassment where students intentionally provoke or mock a specific peer until that student has an emotional outburst. Despite this being brought to the attention of leadership, the administration does little to intervene. There is a disturbing pattern of chronic absenteeism among students who were simply avoiding school as a survival mechanism because the environment had become emotionally unsafe. Leadership needs to conduct a serious internal audit to understand why students are choosing to stay home rather than face the daily provocation allowed within these walls. Furthermore, my daughter witnessed a disturbing lack of empathy and discipline in the classroom. While there are no special-needs students attending the school, students frequently use 'disabled' as an insult. If a student asks a question that others perceive as 'dumb,' they are mocked with offensive hand gestures simulating a disability. Teachers observe this and say nothing, allowing this culture of mockery to go unchecked. This behavior is compounded by clear favoritism. The principal's child is part of a dominant social group that appears 'untouchable' due to their father's position. While my daughter was labeled a 'bully' by the principal for a single reactive incident in an unmanaged classroom (kicking the chair of a disruptive "star athlete" student), star athletes and well-connected students receive preferential treatment regardless of their conduct. Despite the school's branding, we found no evidence of Christian values here. Their final interaction with us was a petty dispute over a book that was sitting right in front of them--a fitting end to a year focused more on tuition than student character.

    My wife and I homeschooled our children for two years, and when we started looking for a Christian…read moreschool, we wanted one with strong values, high standards, and a genuine care for its students. This school has exceeded our expectations in every way. What really stands out is the personal connection they build not only with the students, but with the parents as well. The principal and teachers have been incredible, showing consistent dedication, support, and care. We have nothing but great things to say about this school. All of our children are now enrolled, and we're excited to see their continued growth and the relationships they'll build here. We highly recommend this school to any family looking for a strong, Christ-centered education.
