The CamdenForward School educates Camden’s children in an environment rich in love, hope, structure, order and competence leading to high academic achievement, spiritual growth, and the development of strong Christian character.
The CamdenForward School opened in the fall of 1997 with just one class each of pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten. Each year since then, the school has added a new grade and will continue to do so until it is able to provide a quality private school education to students from pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade.
It costs roughly $5,000 a year to provide a child with schooling.
Each child receives a scholarship, and their parents are asked to pay $50 a month for their child to attend school. Since the CamdenForward School receives no government funding, the remaining amount is met through partnerships with individuals, churches, corporations, and foundations who are willing to give time and money to help provide the best possible education for all students.
