The Lower School of Cedar Crest Academy is committed to individualized curriculum, allowing for developmental maturation and acceleration. Grade levels are determined by age, and within that structure, instructional groups build confidence and challenge for each child. Mastery of skills for word recognition, reading comprehension, language arts, and mathematical algorithms are secured during a student's years in Lower School. The young child's curiosity for science experimentation and social systems is manifested in a President Presentation, construction of a model community, and observation of life cycles.

Art, music, physical education, and foreign languages (French, Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese) are vital components of the school day. Six hours per week are spent singing, molding clay, painting portraits, running, skipping, and dribbling balls to develop both global and healthy citizens. Students' gifts create art and music festivals to build confidence in public presentation and spirited Cedar Crest traditions.
