Cedars Tutorial
Where Strong Roots Meet Steady Growth
Cedars Tutorial
Our homeschool tutorial is designed to walk alongside families by strengthening students through skill-based learning labs rooted in the four academic core subjects: math, language arts, science, and history.
Our learning labs are not a replacement for a family’s chosen curriculum; they are a tool in the tool box of teaching children. They are a supportive extension of learning— offering targeted tutoring, concept reinforcement, and hands-on application and illumination of material students are already encountering at home.
Best for families who want:
A consistent learning rhythm two days a week
Small-group support and skill-building
Space for STEM-minded builders and creative learners to thrive
Program At-a-Glance
What does learning look like at Cedars Tutorial?
The tutorial teaches through two learning pathways: STEM building and creative expression.
Pathways teach the same academic concepts from curriculum, but they do so through different lenses—allowing students to engage material in ways that foster deeper understanding and ownership of learning.

Creative Expression Pathway: imagination, storytelling, artistic exploration, relational learning, big-picture thinking
STEM Building Pathway: logic, structure, sequencing, analysis, and problem-solving
Both pathways will be used interchangeably through the day to teach the same foundational concepts.

Classrooms are intentionally created with one-on-one interaction in mind. Therefore, each class will have no more than 15 children in it and be taught by two teachers together.
