Our Vision ry
A Vassar graduate with a Master’s in Education from Columbia University, Miss Carden developed her method in
response to the unstructured teaching practices of her time. She believed that learning should be joyful,
language should be clear, and every child should be guided with purpose and respect. She created a
comprehensive, sequential curriculum rooted in phonics, clarity of thought, and character development. Her
success led to the founding of the Carden Educational Foundation, which continues to share her method with
schools across the world.
The Carden Method fosters analytical and organized thinking while cultivating creativity, confidence, and strong
communication skills. Each child is recognized as a unique individual whose curiosity and potential are nurtured
each day. Guided by the core values of respect, integrity, and kindness, Carden Conejo School honors its
founders’ legacy while embracing innovation - blending time-tested principles with modern educational
approaches. We proudly uphold Mae Carden’s vision through small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and a wholechild approach that allows our students to grow into compassionate, capable, and confident individuals who
learn with joy and lead with purpose.
