School Mission: We inculcate Social Responsibility and Independent Learning.
Our school mission shows our commitment and focus to develop Cedarians into persons with robust character and a sense of duty and service to the community and nation and into individuals who take ownership of their own learning and go forth to learn, discover and create knowledge.
A View of Holistic Education
The school seeks to appreciate its school history and heritage and leverages on the school’s 2004 to 2007 strategic thrusts “Building Capacity”, “Cultivating Creativity” and “Nurturing Connectivity” to provide a view of holistic education. The work of the school on these three strategic thrusts represents the provision of holistic education to develop pupils holistically in the cognitive, physical, technological, aesthetic, inventive, and social-emotional-moral domains.
