Cedarwood’s Expansion Plan
With more than 250 students, excellent teachers, a strong parent community, and professional administrators, Cedarwood is poised to transition to a new
level as a school. Our current school building is simply not big enough to house our full pre K – 8th grade program. Happily, we can grow on the property
we already own. By renovating the old, unused annex attached to our school and modifying sections of our current building,we can create a beautifully expanded space.
The renovated annex will house two large airy rooms for our performing arts program: orchestra, eurythmy, movement, world music program, and drama. We will create a full-sized woodworking shop, library and transform the annex’s dilapidated pool into a gymnasium. A community kitchen and parent lounge will at long last offer parents a place to gather. Perhaps most importantly, this expansion creates the opportunity for our middle school program to blossom.
We plan to begin the annex renovation in August of 2010 with a goal of opening the doors to our new wing in September of 2011. The renovations to our current building will occur the following year.

How We Get There
To fund this project, Cedarwood is kicking off a Capital Campaign. Our goal is to raise one million dollars from within the Cedarwood community – board, staff, parents,extended family and friends – $550,000 in gifts and $450,000 in loans. We have already received several significant contributions towards that goal. Once we have raised one million dollars, we will receive a two-phased bank loan to complete our funding package of $2, 575,00. We invite you to join us with a generous contribution.
Twelve years ago a small group of passionate leaders created this school; now it is our turn to take up that mantle and continue the tradition of visionary leadership. When we make a financial gift to build the new wing, we are investing in what we value most.
