Carver Early Learning Academy begins educating students at three and four years old. Our fee-based preschool provides quality educational opportunities for young children, preparing them for the rigors of their K-6 educations. Our teachers are well trained and prepare students with the necessary skills to become a successful and productive student. Once a child attends Carver Early Learning Academy, they are able to continue through sixth grade in order to create a seamless educational experience for the students and family. We welcome students from all communities to attend our stellar preschool program!

The magnet program was established to help students gain skills necessary for success in their future, through exploration of both interpersonal and technological communication. The emphasis on schoolwide enrichment and academic achievement for all students provide a foundation for lifelong success, while developing talents and abilities. The yearlong curriculum plan, based on the California Academic Content Standards, is organized into three schoolwide themes: Who We are on Planet Earth, Ways in Which We Communicate, and The Working of Our World. These themes are inquiry based, interdisciplinary, and interrelated across academic areas. Student communication projects include digital photography, broadcasting, digital video and movie production, computer presentations, and poster creation with scanners and large size printers. The journey to success begins at Carver Academy, which provides the skills for success in the 21^st Century. Effective communication, technology competency, obtaining and managing information and the application of knowledge are the basis for life long success.

Carver has adopted the Enrichment Cluster Program as part of the Schoolwide Enrichment Model. Recognizing that all learners are unique, learning experiences must take into account the abilities, interests, and learning styles of individual students. Twice a year during the six-week cluster, students spend one hour a week exploring a topic of interest with the assistance of community members. Along with gaining in-depth knowledge of a particular topic, students begin to take responsibility and interest in their own learning. The regular curriculum is supported, expanded and enhanced by children participating in enrichment activities and bringing their enthusiasm into the classroom setting. Student and cluster leaders communicate what they have accomplished at a schoolwide celebration to culminate the Enrichment Cluster Program. These educational opportunities, supported by an excellent teaching staff, create a first rate educational opportunity that is both challenging and enjoyable for our students.
