Carden Arbor View School welcomes all families who are seeking an independent school that provides an educational environment of advanced academic achievement, character development, and leadership training--the cornerstones for your child’s future happiness, success, and well-being. We believe that children are the most successful when a partnership exists between home and school.

During the application process, our goal is to help the family and the school determine together whether this is the best fit for the student’s academic success. This is accomplished through a standardized assessment, on-campus visiting in the classroom, and conversations with multiple staff and faculty members and the student and family.

The process of education should equip the individual with the ability to analyze, evaluate, and classify all of the information that comes to him or her. The purpose of education is to teach individuals to THINK and to develop good judgment. The acquisition of these skills relies on a thorough curriculum that interrelates all subject matter in a sequential manner and is continued from grade to grade.

Assessments

Every child applying for admission to Carden Arbor View School must complete an assessment. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure the child is ready for our curriculum on many levels. Miss Mae Carden believed that students learn the best when they feel comfortable and confident in their environment. While children can be intellectually ready for a challenging academic program, it is important that their emotional and social needs also be met.

For kindergarten children, this assessment is geared toward determining the child's readiness to spend a full day in a classroom program. Our kindergarten assessments will be held on Saturday mornings in group setting. Most children find the assessment enjoyable.

For children in first through eighth grades, the assessment is geared toward determining whether the child will be successful in a demanding academic program.

Reservations are now being accepted for assessments for the 2025-26 school year. Please call our office to reserve as space is limited.
