Had 3 children attend and now my grandson. It's a great little school and great atmosphere. Love the music programs. Small school where close friends are made. My kids hated to leave this school.

I have had 3 children attended this school. It's such a wonderful small school. The children become very close. The staff is supportive and caring. I highly recommend.

The homework is given and then reviewed with the students. It really helps to reinforce what they are learning.

Personally attended Colden many years ago. I can say that the education I received there has made me the great student I am today. Small class sizes. Teacher truly care about each child's education. Truly life changing environment and I would absolutely send my kids here.

The school is well rounded, the teachers are wonderful and the activities weather it is sports or extra curricular are top notch. Parents are always welcome and volunteers appreciated. I love that this is the first school my children are a part of.
