Welcome to Cedars Academy
Cedars Academy is a residential school for middle and high school boys and girls who have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, (ADHD), Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) and Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NLD).
Our family-like atmosphere, structured behavioral treatment and challenging college preparatory curriculum are the paving stones on the path to success for our graduates. Cedars is located on 73 picturesque acres of both wooded and landscaped terrain on the Delmarva Peninsula, only a two-hour drive from Baltimore and Philadelphia and Washington D.C.
We are a small boys and girls boarding school for forty students in our home-like setting. Our mission is to educate the whole child. We believe that every moment of every day presents a teaching possibility for children with learning disabilities. We live with and teach our students not only in the classroom, but also at every opportunity. In building and sustaining our community, we inculcate skills in self-management and affective modulation, which are crucial to successful social skills acquisition. Ultimately, social skills are the vehicles by which optimal success is reached.
Our college preparatory curriculum weaves pragmatic social skills building into an enriched academic experience. Cedars Academy is an environment where all staff members consistently reinforce positive, appropriate communication and interaction.
At Cedars, we're not just school - we're family!
Cedars Academy is a licensed Residential Child Care Facility and Day Treatment Program by the State of Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth, and Their Families.
Cedars Academy is accredited by CITA (Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation).
