Cedar Crest Academy
read moreThe foundation of the Cedar Crest Academy educational experience is that all subjects are presented one grade advanced from a traditional educational track and optimized from there. We cater to students who thrive with a higher academic bar supported by a small class size presenting an opportunity for more personalized learning and a vibrant social environment. All students starting in preprimary participate in our integrated character education program, the Ten Pillars of Character. Elementary students build upon this foundation each year as well as participate in more organized activities around character and kindness.
About Us
read moreGeeta Vyas and I, Gail Domingos, met while working for a large corporate early child program during the early 2000s. Together, we talked about the programs that currently existed and felt there was a gap within the industry that needed to be filled. During the height of the dot-com bust, we took a gamble that parents would see the benefits of our innovative program; one that meshes the concept of whole child and a play-based philosophy while at the same time providing an environment that gives children an opportunity to be academically challenged.

Our mathematics program is a comprehensive, cumulative, hands-on-mastery-oriented program that introduces and practices new skills each lesson, while continuing to give independent practice on previously introduced skills. Each student will take a math placement test during the first week of school. After the evaluation, they will be placed in a math class that is the best fit for them, either at their current(+1) grade level or further above grade level.
