Camden School for Girls provides an excellent education for all its students. At the heart of our success is our determination to make learning enjoyable, interesting, and stimulating. We are ambitious for every young person in our school, and our commitment to their success is combined with very strong pastoral work to make sure that students feel happy, safe, and supported at all times. We enable our students to find their voices and develop their own opinions by encouraging a broad understanding of the world, a social conscience, and a considerate approach to other people. Every student is valued, and we encourage all students to value other people as well. We aim to nurture caring, confident, responsible, and mature young adults who are ready to go on to the next stage of their education. We offer a wide-ranging academic and vocational curriculum in the main school and A levels in the Sixth Form. Our teachers are highly qualified specialists who make learning enjoyable and accessible. They are enthusiastic and dedicated individuals who make sure that every student achieves her or his full potential. Camden School for Girls has a strong record of academic success which is reflected in its outstanding GCSE and A level results. Both achievement and progress (the improvement students make in their learning from their starting points) are well above the national average. Camden School for Girls has been graded outstanding in every category in every Ofsted inspection it has received. In 2013 Camden School for Girls was named one of the top 100 best performing schools in the country by Schools Minister David Laws in recognition of our exceptional examination results. Our students are talented resourceful, confident, and creative individuals. Through their Sixth Form experience, we endeavor to ensure that they leave qualified, stimulated, and well-prepared for the challenges of life. Our school has a reputation for academic excellence balanced with a rich program of extracurricular activities delivered in a welcoming environment. We respect our students and treat them as individuals. We try to involve everyone in taking an active part in the community thereby enriching the Sixth Form experience. The last OFSTED report stated: 'What makes this school outstanding are exceptional leadership, and strong teaching and learning enhanced by a top-class curriculum and caring ethos. However, students themselves are also key contributors because of their attitudes, hard work, and determination to excel" "Provision in the sixth form is outstanding. Because of excellent teaching, a stimulating curriculum, and their positive attitudes to learning, students attain very high standards and make excellent progress in their achievement and personal development. Standards are consistently well above local and national averages and are improving year on year at the highest levels. Teaching allows students to develop their creativity with appropriate support". "Effective leadership and management of the sixth form can be seen in the exemplary monitoring of students' academic progress, and the care and guidance they provide so that students leave as confident and well-rounded young people. Parents and students, including those who join from other schools, speak very highly of the induction program, which helps from early on to welcome them into a vibrant and supportive community". "Students respond well to this and make their significant contribution to the ethos and management of the school. They develop the confidence which enables them, including the young men, to speak of belonging to 'Camden Girls' with pride." Every Monday morning we hold a Sixth Form Assembly all students are expected to attend unless they have an out-of-grid subject lesson. We hold stimulating debates and encourage our students to take on current and divisive issues. Speakers are invited from all kinds of professions and backgrounds to come in and talk to our students. We have been very fortunate to have had in the past many interesting, thought-provoking, and sometimes controversial talks. View full school

While the Camden Military Academy tradition dates back to 1892, operations on the current campus began with the 1958-59 school year. The Academy combines three institutions - Carlisle Military School, which operated in Bamberg, South Carolina, from 1892 to 1977, Camden Academy, located on the campus from 1949 to 1957 and Camden Military Academy. Camden Military Academy has operated as a non-profit, tax-exempt institution since 1974 and is governed by a self-perpetuating board of trustees. Camden Military Academy's mission, first articulated by Colonel James F. Risher, headmaster of Carlisle Military School and founder of Camden Military Academy, is to accept young men of unfulfilled promise and lead them to a future of success. With its roots firmly established at Carlisle Military School, this philosophy has served young men at Camden Military Academy now for half a century. Cadets learn to practice the concepts of honor, integrity, and duty as they grow in their everyday lives on campus. They learn to accept responsibility for their successes and failures in the classroom, the athletic fields, and their military roles. Cadets are encouraged to develop their strengths and talents while at the same time respecting the rights of others. The school's philosophy is to develop the "whole man" to the end that he is prepared academically and emotionally, physically, and morally to face the trials and meet the opportunities that will be his after leaving Camden Military Academy. Please review CMA's mission statement and beliefs... Our mission is to educate and inspire our cadets so that each cadet will have an opportunity to achieve his maximum potential and gain the educational foundation to succeed in college and life as a productive, contributing citizen. We seek to imbue them with respect for learning, to develop self-discipline, and to encourage a commitment to excellence. Education is a process of growth that develops the whole man – mentally, physically, and morally. It is more than learning and retaining a mass of facts and figures. A close relationship between the teacher and student can best be accomplished in a small school. The teacher's role is to make learning engaging, enjoyable, and challenging. We seek to engender in our cadet's genuine respect for knowledge and learning. Once achieved, the learning process will continue throughout their lives. Our cadets can do their best work with encouragement, close supervision, individual attention, and small classes. The college preparatory curriculum provides an outstanding framework to help our students. Athletics are essential for the physical well-being of our cadets. Through a full interscholastic and intramural program, we encourage team effort and cooperation. Winning, while pleasant, is not all-important. Athletics can be and should be a means by which character and teamwork are built. Self-confidence and success are inextricably related. In our military training program, as in athletics, a young man can sometimes find his first success. Such training develops poise and self-control. Believing that American is indeed dear and that patriotism and citizenship should be deep sentiments, we feel that Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps inculcates our cadets an awareness of duty to country and respect for our national flag. Wholesome extracurricular activities give our cadets a greater sense of self-confidence and provide leadership opportunities. Our activities open avenues for a cadet to express himself, supplement knowledge gained in the classroom, and develop a personality. Character development is of paramount importance. Character is shaped by our example and by good daily works. While the Academy is non-sectarian, we accept it as our duty that each cadet attends his church, and we try to encourage his loyalty to the tenets of his religious faith. We believe in our cadets. Our task, therefore, is to develop the whole man so that he is fitted not only academically but also emotionally, physically, and morally to face the trials and meet the opportunities that will be his after he leaves us.
