She didn't ask our names, our relation (there were four of us), she didn't introduce herself. She had an incredibly difficult time providing explanations, would give vague detail, followed by "you can read the handbook", and an overall condescending tone when i tried to follow up. The disconnect was very apparent, as my party agreed separately that she was very slow and disoriented. We found her demeanor to be questionable. After discussion, we concluded if we sent our daughter to Bluff View we would be concerned with her stability as owner & admin. Overall, we will be crossing this off of our list for good. Strong recommendation to all new parents to take a tour and go through that.... interesting experience before handing over 250$ for application fee.

Since day 1 she's been rude and hard to work with I get it's a gate school but clearly if my child got in they must be smart enough so for Ms.Kaufmann to act like my student is not to her standards I truly think these principles need to do a little more digging into how she teaches and treats students.

I have had two of my children educated by Carden, and I couldn't be happier with the quality of…read moreeducation they have received. We moved our middle daughter to Carden for 6th grade, and I was thrilled by the challenging curriculum put forth by the knowledgable and empathic teachers that work there. The school prepared my middle daughter for the challenges of University High School, and she will graduate from UC Davis as a double major with honors this spring. Additionally, our youngest daughter has benefited by going the whole route from kindergarten through 8th grade, and has really thrived in middle school. I couldn't be happier to have paid for the education they have gotten, and I hope other who really care about their child's education can benefit from this school as well.

Our child loves Carden School of Fresno because the teachers are caring and passionate about their…read morestudents and the learning environment. The Carden method of teaching also includes physical education, music, French and art which leads to well-rounded children. The small campus also creates wonderful lifelong friendships amongst the students. If you are looking to prepare your child for high school and college, I am not aware of any school in Fresno / Clovis that better prepares them than Carden. After graduating from Carden your child will thrive in their next level of education.

Be very careful at the school. They act like they are about the children but they aren't. It's…read moreabout their reputation. My son attended this school for a month until they mistreated him. He was verbally and fiscally abused. When brought to the principals attention that an employee "Danny" the gentleman that stands outside the gates in the morning that gives your child fist pumps and says good morning.....yeah well it's all an act. Be very careful with your child around that asshole. He hit my son a 4 year old in the nose with his fist. Principal and vice get involved and the first words out of their mouths were well I don't believe you or your son. Right away I knew it was a RED FLAG Run far away from this school. They mistreat children. Fiscally, verbally, and mentally. Do not take them to school here. If you're that parent that reads reviews let this be your sign. They play a great role on " we are here for the kids" It's all a lie. If you love your child please don't let them attend this school. Don't be a victim like my son. Police department and board members are involved.

The teachers were lovely and the education was great but having established lifelong friendships is one of the greatest blessings that you can give your children. The education system is designed to send kids to college and grad school if interested. You can literally go from kindergarten through med school building life-long connections and friends. I remember as a child when the developer Del Webb made a large donation for the purchase of the 40 acre campus. Many happy memories among my current Facebook friends from our formative years on spent on campus.

First they wanted me to pay a "donation" (bribe) to move my child to kindergarten, I was appalled and immediately moved my child to a Clovis North school 2 blocks from home. My friend's daughter on the other hand was battered and had a black eye and concussion from another student and the school did not inform her at all, her daughter told her when she was picked up from school! She had to call the police and make a report which they said will ne referred to the district attorney for child neglect. Even daycare centers have a mandate to report injuries, this school should honestly be shut down. The diocese does not supervise the principal who is not even on site half the time which was a shock to the diocese who said she isn't allowed to leave grounds without permission, well, she does all the time. If you live in a good school district do not consider sending your child here. They only care about money and using your child to make them more money, wish we never sent our child here.
