Middle School is designed to meet the individual cognitive and emotional needs of students in grades 6-8, and create a bridge for the transition years to high school. During these years, students utilize and present their mastery of basic skills and develop sophisticated abstract reasoning. Cedar Crest students apply their mastery of reading, writing, and computation as well as enthusiasm for science and social science into literary interpretation, written communication, problem-solving, experimentation, and project development.

Studies in the visual arts, music, and foreign languages ignite the adolescent adventure of painting, composing, performing, and traveling. The practice of sports skills evolves into competitive school athletic events. Eight class hours of electives each week in humanities and athletics promote individual development and multi-disciplinary thinking. Art and performing festivals are impressive displays of Cedar Crest talent.
