Within minutes of getting there we got weird vibes. The front office lady was not very friendly. It was like as if we weren't good enough from the beginning. We were fortunate enough to run into the principal (I think his name was Mr. V) and I was like oh thank god, someone else to base the school off of. Ummm he was even worse. Very click ish and made us feel like if we didn't beg to get in, we weren't getting in. Seeing him interact with everyone was cringe. You are either in the click or you're not. The amount of paperwork requested was ridiculous and no other school asked for 3-4 years worth of report cards. We had heard the school is small and doesn't have much to offer but were wanting to check it out to make our own opinion. This school is a HARD PASS. The staff is not friendly. Don't waste your time.

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.

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.

From day one, it was clear that the leadership team has built a strong, positive school culture focused on high expectations, meaningful relationships, genuine care for students, and Christian values. The leadership team sets the tone for excellence, and it shows in every aspect of the school. The teachers and staff are not only highly skilled, but also deeply committed to supporting each student as an individual. My daughter has truly thrived this year, largely because of the personal connections she's built with her peers and teachers and the consistent encouragement she's received. Communication has been outstanding--I always feel informed about her academic progress and supported as a parent. The school also offers a wide range of opportunities for students to explore their interests, from sports and extracurricular activities to electives and mini-courses, allowing every child to find and explore their passion. I also deeply appreciate the school's diverse community, which creates an inclusive and enriching environment for all students. I feel confident that my daughter is not only prepared, but excited and ready for high school. She transferred from a very small private school and Heights provided the perfect transition and preparation to a larger high school setting next year. Heights has exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend!

My son started at the Heights Christian in Hacienda Heights for preschool and I loved that school…read more The teachers were wonderful, he learned everything he needed to prepare him for pre-K (because of his age) and then I switched him to a Catholic school. That lasted two years and I put him back in the Heights Christian La Mirada campus. I couldn't have been happier. I was happy to see how they incorporated, not only the Christian faith, but scripture, as well. Each week the kids memorize a new bible verse and talk about what it means. They also had the kids learning how to do book reports, oral reports, and projects starting in first grade. They gave him opportunities I hadn't seen at his other school: school play for their Christmas program, Spanish class, music class with recorder, after school programs to further his learning, the list goes on. My son has thrived in his education and I really believe it is because of the school and the dedication of the teachers (like Mrs. Claes). This is his last year at this campus, but I can't wait to see what the intermediate campus has to offer. I have multiple family members who are teachers for middle school and my son is ahead of a lot of their students. I highly recommend this campus. Disclaimer: Yes, I have nothing but great things to say about the school, and no I am not affiliated with it any way, if some of you were thinking that!

Overall highly recommend this school your children will be well taken care of.
