Carden Academy of Huntington Beach is a non-denominational premier private school in Orange County, California, founded in 1978 by Mrs. Carol Van Asten. Carden Academy is dedicated to providing a superior academic education to children in pre-school through eighth grade.

Underlying all lessons is the goal of Character development. Students are encouraged to accept responsibilities, to complete all assignments, to make good choices, and to be kind and courteous.

This integrated curriculum is delivered by credentialed, Carden trained and caring professionals who share a passion for working with all children. This is confirmed by our students’ high performance on standardized tests ( SAT, OLSAT) and their placement in Honors’ classes upon graduation.
