I gave this school a chance because i had such a good experience with Orange Grove up the street…read more Im not pleased with the counselors there or the principles. They let children continue to go the school without detention or Expulsion after they assaulted other students. They often bother Norwalk police for help and theyre not responsible for that area. Pico Rivera is and it's to the point, they said take care your own problems. I visited 3 police stations after my son was violated by another student and was given no guarantee my son would be okay. The day it happened, the principal wasn't going to tell me, she was going to wait the next day. What the fuck!!! Im not happy with the speech therapy there compared to his old elementary school either. Im now homeschooling my son now.

Prospective families should be aware that the Executive Director does not operate in true…read morepartnership with parents. When concerns are raised, communication is handled in a dismissive manner rather than through collaboration or dialogue. Parent input is acknowledged superficially, key points are bypassed, and agreements made at the classroom level are not upheld at the executive level. After receiving an assessment that did not accurately reflect our child's abilities (completed less than two months into enrollment), we raised concerns about the lack of context, narrative, and communication. The teachers acknowledged the assessment was not an accurate reflection of her capabilities and agreed it should be updated to reflect her short acclimation period and current capabilities. However, when this was escalated to the Executive Director, those agreements were disregarded. Rather than updating the assessment as discussed, leadership insisted on singling out a child instead of correcting an administrative misstep. Requests to simply revise the original assessment with accurate context were dismissed. When we expressed concern about the long-term academic implications of having an inaccurate student record, we were dismissed. The Executive Director superficially acknowledged our concerns, and reasonable requests were met with inflexibility rather than problem-solving. A school's culture is shaped from the top. If families are leaving, leadership may want to reflect on how parent advocacy is received and addressed.

We recently transferred our 2.5-year-old from a highly regarded preschool in Playa Vista to…read moreBroadoaks, and the difference has been night and day. While there was nothing "wrong" with the previous school on paper, we never saw the kind of joy, excitement, and emotional connection to the environment that we now see every single day. Our son comes home telling us stories about his teachers and friends, and he literally doesn't want to leave when we pick him up. The teachers at Broadoaks have been so kind, nurturing, and patient with him (and he is very high energy!). It's clear they truly care about their students and create a supportive environment where kids can thrive. We are so grateful for the warmth and dedication of the Broadoaks staff--it has made our move to Whittier that much sweeter knowing our child is in such good hands.

Carden Academy of Whittier has been an incredible place for our family. What sets this school apart…read moreis its commitment to academic excellence while still nurturing each child as an individual. The teachers truly know their students and invest in both their educational and personal growth. The curriculum is rigorous and prepares students exceptionally well for high school and beyond. At the same time, the school emphasizes character, responsibility, respect, and confidence--qualities that are just as important as academics. Communication with families is excellent, and the administration is approachable, caring, and genuinely dedicated to the success of every student. The campus has a warm, family-like atmosphere where children are encouraged to challenge themselves while feeling supported. If you're looking for a private school that combines strong academics, high expectations, and a caring community, I highly recommend Carden Academy of Whittier. We are grateful to be part of such a special school.

I am a PICKY parent...lol. I searched and searched for a school that I would love, and after 6+…read moreschools, I found Carden of Whittier! It was important for me that my child was NOT another number, but an individual, with an identity. That my family would be known on a first name basis, and that her school would truly be " a home away form home"! Academics had to be strong, class size had to be small, campus had to be clean and in a nice area. Carden met all of these needs. Carden has helped me raise my daughter into a strong, intelligent young lady. She is more than prepared for her academic future! She carries herself with pride, can communicate well and has huge aspirations for her future..I know this school has a lot to do with all of the above! Thank you Carden!

Either way, 5th period PE always sucked because it was consistently hot as balls by the time we got out there. And I had 5th period both years ... I mean who likes to go through puberty so early? But once upon a rainy 5th period PE, my teacher selected me, Sadeer and Diahnna to go out and collect the soccer cones off the field. As good little robots, we agreed. The rest of the class remained inside a classroom on the other side of campus. It was cold and we were drenched ... AND we all had to go pee. We waited outside the locker room and then looked at each other. Sadeer: Who has the key? Diahnna: I don't. Me: I don't either. Sadeer: Sh*t, we have to go get it. Who wants to go? Me: I don't know but hurry up! I've got to go pee. Diahnna: So do I. Sadeer: Shhhhhhh .... hahaha. Ok, ok shhhhh .... Me: SHUT UP SADEER! GO GET THE KEY. Sadeer: Ok, ok. I'll go get it. (5 minutes later after being in the rain and getting COMPLETELY wet.) Sadeer: Ok, I've got the key. Shhhhhh ... hahaha. Shhhhhh .... Diahnna & Me (jumping up and down to hold it in): Hurry up!! We got to pee! Sadeer: Well, geez. So do I! Just relax. Shhhhh .... hahahaha. Don't go pee in your pants now ... Me thinking to myself as Sadeer unlocks the door: Sh*t. Too Late. So the other girls flee to the bathroom and I just stroll because guess what? ... no more urgency. After that incident, I wrapped my jacket around my pants and inconspicuously walk to the classroom where we joined the rest of the PE(e) class. All I could think was for once, THANK GOD IT'S 5TH PERIOD. One more class to go. After I got up from my 5th period seat ... I remember thinking "wow! I didn't know wooden seats soaked up that pee smell so well." But guess what? Any kind of embarrassment went away after I got home ... only because my mom knew how to express the exact words of comfort. Me: Mommy ... I peed in my pants today. Mommy: That's ok ... everyone does it.
