Cedar Crest Academy offers accelerated academic curriculum while nurturing the whole child. The school provides personalized learning in small class sizes. I highly recommend this school for parents who value academic rigor and character education equally. Cedar Crest Academy is an unknown gem that provides both sides of the equation where many schools in the area offer one or the other.

We like the school for each of our very different children due to the excellent teachers, accelerated curriculum, the small class sizes and intimate school feeling, and the balance of academics with clubs, character education, specialists, etc. We appreciate the warm and supportive environment our children are in each day and the excellent academic focus being balanced with exposing students to/encouraging other interests.

Our son started at Cedar Crest Bellewood Campus at Kindergarten and is now going into 2nd grade this fall. The teachers and staff are all wonderful and caring. The school offers an excellent academic program and includes specialist classes and clubs such as PE, Spanish, art, gardening, technology, which provides a great balance for the students. Our son loves going to school here! We highly recommend CCA!
