What Makes Carlson So Special?

Carlson Elementary stands out by offering families the best of both worlds: the unique opportunity to choose between our "Classic" and "Chandler Traditional Academy (CTA)" instructional models, all under one roof. Located right in the neighborhood, our school combines this flexible academic programming with a robust selection of extracurricular activities and a deep commitment to parent involvement. At the core of what makes us special is our collaborative approach—our dedicated staff works hand-in-hand with families and community stakeholders to provide tailored instruction that challenges and supports every Carlson Champion.
