Our day and year is filled with hands on learning, artistic activity and student directed learning. We know you will find your learning exciting and fun.  All students take classes that prepare them for four-year college admissions.
Sports at Carver
If you are interested in playing sports, our school district has arranged for Carver athletes to play at your neighborhood high school. Please contact the Athletic Director of your local high school to learn about training schedules. (If you already played for West Campus, you may continue to do so.)
Don't Forget Those Summer Reading Assignments!
At Carver, we are committed to supporting students' love of reading and learning to give them a little bit of structure to their summer in preparation for the coming school year. We view reading as a pleasure and share that pleasure with our students.

How You Can Support Carver
Giving to Carver shows your support of our diverse programs. As a public Waldorf school, we rely on donations to provide funding for all the "extras" for our students every day such as the high-quality art supplies students use every day in their classes. Your donations have helped pay for a music program, the mobile kitchen and chalkboards. Our next goal is shaded outdoor seating! Please consider making a donation to Carver.
