All Children Can Achieve

At Carmen Schools of Science and Technology, we take your trust in us very seriously. We are a school community grounded in the belief that all children can achieve at their highest potential if surrounded by adults who are invested in their success. Our school culture is focused on values like respect, responsibility and trust and celebrating the unique differences of every student. Carmen does not discriminate in any way, including on the basis of ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identification or disability.

Carmen enrolls students through a lottery system. We encourage you to enroll today to increase your chances of securing a seat at one of our six schools, serving students in K4 (full day program) through grade 12.

We Uplift Innovation and Value Tradition

Carmen Schools is dedicated to delivering exceptional and innovative education, complemented by a strong focus on college readiness. We remain steadfast in our commitment to preserving time-honored values while embracing forward-thinking approaches  We have stayed true to our mission and believe in keeping traditions alive.  Our vision is to graduate all students as critical thinkers and self-directed learners who are prepared for success in college, meaningful careers, community involvement, and family life.

At Carmen, we have two annual traditions that have become core to our culture and showcase our mission in action: Carmen Days and Senior Signing Day.  Carmen Day is our annual day of service to the community, where each school spends the morning volunteering and partnering with local organizations followed by an afternoon of field-day activities.  Another beloved tradition is Senior Signing Day, where we recognize and celebrate our seniors in an all-school assembly full of cheer, awards, and fellowship.
