Academics
Cedar Tree seeks to:
- Teach all subjects as parts of an integrated whole with the Scriptures at the center (II Timothy 3:16-17).
- Provide a clear model of the biblical Christian life through our staff and Board (Matthew 22:37-40).
- Encourage every student to begin and develop his or her relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20).
- Emphasize grammar, logic, and rhetoric in all subjects. (Grammar is to be understood as the fundamental rules and data of each subject. Logic is to be understood as the ordered relationship of particulars in each subject. Rhetoric is to be understood as the means by which the grammar and logic of each subject may be expressed clearly.)
- Use curriculum imbued with the western classical tradition.
- Encourage every student to develop a love for learning and to achieve their academic potential.
- Provide an orderly atmosphere conducive to the attainment of the above goals.
- Provide an education to applicants regardless of their race, color, national or ethnic origin.
The western classical tradition refers to the philosophies and related arts that began with the ancient Greeks and Romans, influenced the development of Christianity in Western Europe, and continued to be the basis for education in the western world until the early twentieth century saw the beginning of reforms intended to produce good citizens more than to educate those citizens.
