Find the Right Path
Cedar isn't an "alternative." It's an advantage.
Cedar is designed for students who want:
- Hands-on, real-world learning instead of worksheets
- Strong relationships with teachers who know them
- A smaller school where their voice matters
- Opportunities to present, lead, and create
This is a New Tech Network school, meaning students learn through projects, collaboration, and real challenges — not just tests. At Cedar, students don't just go to school. They build their future together.
Why Families Choose Cedar

Learning that connects to real life
At Cedar, the community is the classroom. Students work alongside local partners — including tribal nations, nonprofits, and civic organizations — applying their learning to real-world challenges.
What that means for your student:
- Learning feels relevant and engaging
- Students build confidence working with others
- They understand how to contribute to their community
This is education that doesn't stay inside four walls.
College Ready
Built for success after graduation
Cedar students graduate with more than credits — they graduate with skills. Through presentations, projects, and mastery-based learning, students develop:
- Critical thinking
- Public speaking
- Time management
- Collaboration
The result: Students enter college and training programs ready to succeed — not just attend.
