Success Starts Here
A unique school that has fulfilled the special educational needs
of children in Orange County since 1962.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support children whose emotional, social, behavioral, and/or learning difficulties have impacted their ability to succeed in typical school settings.
Welcome to Mardan
Mardan provides an alternative education option for students in all grade levels – from at-risk primary grade students just beginning to experience difficulties at school, to high school students requiring a smaller, more individually-focused and supportive environment.
The Mardan Difference
The school experience undeniably plays a huge role in a child’s development. For children who struggle with academic, social, or behavioral challenges, it is even more important to provide support and guidance to develop future success. Mardan offers a specialized school environment for children who need an alternative to typical school settings in order to thrive.
