The Howard School

Overview

The Howard School in Carpinteria, CA, is Santa Barbara's oldest continually operating private school, established in 1912. Originally founded by Hannah Howard as a small morning program for six children, it has evolved into a modern pre-school through eighth-grade institution. The school serves students from Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties and is located in a semi-rural area surrounded by parks and agriculture.

The Howard School employs the Carden Method®, a comprehensive curriculum that emphasizes phonics, rhythm, and visual imagery for reading, along with mastery in math, science, reading, and writing. The school maintains small class sizes to support individualized learning and character development. Its core curriculum integrates various subjects, including art, music, theatre, foreign language, technology, and physical education, fostering a love for learning and essential life skills.
