From The Founder’s Desk

On behalf of our entire staff, I warmly welcome you to Cedar Hill Preparatory School. We are proud to be a part of a vibrant community that includes a dedicated and experienced staff, enthusiastic and gifted learners, and families who treasure the essence of wonderful education. Firm in our belief that the makeup of the educational environment is key to harnessing each child’s special gift, we feel children learn best in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment that fosters partnerships between the family and school. It is by working together that we create a strong CHP family, one that empowers children with the creative, intellectual, and decisionmaking skills that inspire them to become academically, socially, physically, and emotionally successful and responsible.

You are your child’s most important educator. As an active participant in your child’s academic career, you are establishing the path to his/her long-term success. It is with this in mind, that we encourage open dialogue and engagement among parents/guardians, teachers, and the administration. As partners, we share the responsibility for our children’s successes and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities. It is therefore important for all parents to know that we believe in an OPEN DOOR POLICY and hence encourage parents to contact us with any questions, concerns, or comments.

Communication and constructive feedback will allow us to meet your child’s needs most effectively.

I hope this handbook will give you the information you need to become part of the CHP’s vibrant community. Families are encouraged to actively participate in the various school events that take place throughout the year.

We aim at creating free spirited men and women who are intellectually free, unprejudiced in all respects, and above all unselfish.
