At Carden Academy helps students to develop their powers of perception, concentration, and self-discipline. The resulting self-confidence, combined with a lifelong love of learning, will enable them to strive successfully toward Miss Carden's ideal of "Life Triumphant" - a life lived in harmony while meeting the challenges of the twenty-first century. Our goal is to provide our students with a wholesome environment; interesting, inspiring teaching; and firm, loving discipline. It is our responsibility to help prepare them with solidly developed academic skills, a strong sense of their individual worth, an appreciation of their fellow humans, and gratitude for all that is good. Within this environment, and through the mastery of these skills, they can develop the moral and intellectual strength to successfully encounter the challenges of life. We accept as our responsibility the teaching of each individual student in an atmosphere that nurtures joy and the love of learning.
