Private School in Mission Viejo, CA

Carden Academy:
Carden Academy in Mission Viejo, Southern Orange County in the Saddleback Valley is a private school offering Kindergarten (Junior Primary) - 8th Grade programs. Our method of instruction awakens a natural desire of learning in each of the students and simultaneously equipping them with a sound foundation of academic skills and knowledge. However, for the educational progress of the child, the child must inculcate self-discipline, self-confidence, and stamina in them.

True learning must begin with comprehension. We teach reading, composition, grammar, literature, history, spelling, math, geography, and science; a solid foundational curriculum. These fields of study are enhanced by classes in music, computer, Spanish, physical education, and art. Because all subjects are integrated and sequential in structure, students can see and comprehend the development of each new idea.
