Friday morning Latin in Miss Stieren's 3rd Grade Latin class.

Support from parents:

"We want our kids to go to Cedar Classical Academy so that they will appreciate beauty and see God's hand in the world, learn self-discipline, learn how to approach learning a new subject, learn Latin as a bridge to other languages, and have community with peers who are like-minded but not exactly like us."

Alex & Chetta Johnson

"Cedar Classical Academy is a long-term investment in the lives of our children and, through the partnership model, we as parents are growing as well. Goodness, truth, and beauty are all evident - they flow through every part of the Academy - and our family is falling more in love with the glory of God in all of life because of it."

Why the Badger? The Story Behind Our Mascot

We are excited to introduce our mascot: The Badgers. Why did we choose a badger to represent our vision for our students? Badgers hold on. In Prince Caspian, C.S. Lewis introduces us to a talking badger named Trufflehunter who provides steadiness in an uncertain time of exile and disunity among the Narnians. He is the […]
