Nature and Purpose of Agency
Known for its academic achievement, Cardozo recognizes that a brilliant mind devoid of compassion is lacking the humanity that defines success. They promote character by creating a community in which each individual is valued and respected. It is the goal to design, implement and operate programs throughout the school reflective of the specific needs and unique challenges of our school community as defined by all its students, faculty, staff, parents and the broader community at large.
