Foundation for Lifelong Learning

The confidence, self-discipline, and solid academic foundation instilled as a result of the Carden Method prepare our students for social and academic leadership. Howard graduates often qualify for Gifted and Talented Programs. Our graduates have attended secondary schools including Cate, Bishop Diego, Laguna Blanca and Thatcher, and have gone on to colleges including Harvard, MIT, Otis College, Berkeley and UCLA.
