Welcome From Head of School

It is my pleasure to welcome you to The Carey School’s website. This website will introduce you to our mission and our long history of providing a dynamic early childhood and elementary education to families on the mid-peninsula. Here you will find details about our academic and enrichment programs, the wonderful faculty that is at the heart of The Carey School experience, the active parent association, ways to give to The Carey School through our development and advancement programs, alumni information, admission procedures and information, and lots of news from and about Carey Students.

The Carey School is a special place. We are marked by a strong academic program that values the individual learning experience of each child. But a Carey education goes beyond the building of strong academic skills. As the fifth grade students remind me when I ask them what they value about The Carey School, they say it is a school where kindness, community, trust, respect, joy, and safety permeate their daily interactions with each other and the faculty. We are truly a community where learning flourishes.

The Carey School students go on to enjoy wonderful success in various educational settings. They leave us with confidence, a love for learning, and enthusiasm for active participation in their schools. After browsing through the site we hope you decide to come for a visit. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Eric J. Temple
Head of School
