    "I have been working at Calibre (formally Carden) for the past 7 years. I have seen the school grow both academically and physically. I love working with the wonderful families and other staff members. Both of my children go to the school and have been very successful. The administrators support both the teachers and staff. Teachers truly care about each student. Students are challenged and given support where needed."

    "My daughter has attended Calibre Academy (formerly Carden Traditional School) since kindergarten and is now going into the 5th grade. Calibre has always given her individualized attention and focused on areas that she struggles in. She really enjoys reading now and has shown major improvements in both reading and math. The smaller class sizes help limit the distractions in class and help her focus on learning. I am also PTA member and love how the parent involvement is so welcomed and appreciated. I highly recommend Calibre Academy to anyone looking for a nurturing and supportive school."

    "I am writing this letter to express what a wonderful job your staff has done in teaching our children. After hearing about Calibre Academy (formerly Carden Traditional School in Surprise), the educational foundation and structure that your school offered, we without hesitation switched our daughter from a Dysart Unified School and enrolled her along with our son at Calibre. Our daughter attended a public school for three years prior to being introduced to Calibre and our son started out fresh into Kindergarten. We are very pleased at the first in class education that the instructors at Calibre offer. The smaller class size, more one-on-one with the students and the overall excitement to teach was amazing. The foundation that your educators have set, along with the hard work of our children has definitely been a plus. Calibre offers a family atmosphere and we know that what they do on a day to day basis is above and beyond what they would be learning elsewhere."

    "Both of my children have been attending Calibre Academy (formerly Carden Traditional) since they began kindergarten. They both enjoy going to school every day, and that is a big positive in itself. One of my children is in the Gifted program and has excelled on all levels. My other child is also bright, but has attention difficulties. The curriculum at Calibre is exceptional and the staff is truly attentive to the individual needs of each student. I am SO happy we do not have to enroll our children in the Dysart School System! The PTA this past year has gone above and beyond! They are a great group of dedicated parents, who have a common goal of providing the parents and students with all the support and benefits PTAs offer. Calibre staff has been exceptional in recognizing the needs of both of my children, as well as being extremely supportive and instrumental in accelerating them to achieve more than they ever thought they could. I highly recommend Calibre to any parent that wants an environment for their children where they achieve great heights."

    "We are encouraging parents to enroll students early this year. We are expanding, increasing the number of classrooms at each grade level. But, we could still end up with a waiting list. Enroll now and ensure your student a place in our great, exanding school program."
