Teachers at CAVS are dedicated to the Carden teaching method
Every year all of our teachers attend in-depth instructional training provided by the Carden Education Foundation. They also participate in supplemental Carden training on in-service days throughout the school year.
Our Co-Principals are in charge of the day-to-day operations of the school. The Co-Principals are also responsible for hiring the faculty and administrative staff.
