Faculty

Carden Hall teachers are known for their caring ways, their remarkable teaching talents, their expertise in the Carden Method, and their ability to light the lamp of learning in each child. Our teachers hold degrees in a wide array of subjects, and the faculty boasts over 1000 years of combined teaching experience at Carden Hall.

Each of our teachers is trained thoroughly in the Carden Method prior to teaching on our campus. Mrs. Jones, our Director of Academics, who worked under Mae Carden’s tutelage for fourteen years, teaches an extensive Carden teacher-training course each year.

In addition, teacher training continues through the years under the guidance of mentor teachers and in close corroboration with our Director of Academics. Carden Hall teachers are passionate experts who love to teach.
