Carden Academy of Whittier

"Real education develops sound judgement and requires practical application of knowledge in all aspects of learning and in every phase of life. A collection of miscellaneous facts is not an education." - Mae Carden

This week's Yosemite trip has our fifth-eighth graders applying their knowledge and skills to the world around them. They're having fun, seeing amazing sights, practicing team building, learning hands-on skills, and making memories that will last a lifetime. 💙

At Carden Academy, we prepare our students for their future both inside and outside of the classroom. Beginning in fourth grade, we schedule trips to places like Yosemite, Catalina Island, Washington DC, and more so that our students get to step outside their classrooms for a taste of the world beyond their own backyards. Contact us today to learn more about what Carden Academy can offer your child.
