Tall Cedars Academy

We’ve been at TCA for two years now and it’s truly been the best educational decision we’ve made. The kids at the school are bubbly and happy and very polite and considerate and I love the multi-​age classroom set-​up, especially since my child doesn’t have siblings. I love the teachers and staff at TCA and the headmaster never ceases to amaze me with the terrific programs and field trips that our children go on. There’s always a «mini-​stampede» of parents who want to sign up for the field trips because they’re so fun! Each year the kids go to camp as well, and four days a week they’re learning spanish, and have gym and music twice a week.
The leaps and bounds my child has made in her schooling are nothing short of amazing. Our community is very blessed to have this wonderful school in our midst.
Check them out with a visit to watch the kids interaction and see the school, you won’t be sad you did!

If you’re looking for a private elementary school on Seattle’s Upper Eastside, definitely check out Tall Cedars! An overlooked gem of a school, it’s conveniently located in downtown Duvall and expanding to K-​6 for 2010 – 2011 (its fifth year).
My kids looove this school. So do I!
Tall Cedars helps my kids grow in so many ways — much more than the standard academics (which are remarkably customized to each student), personal responsibility, empathy for others, fiscal responsibility (monthly «bank and store» program for kids to puchase goodies with the money they earn on their daily classroom chores), Spanish/​music/​PE, weekly hands-​on science and art, group dynamics, regular wilderness adventures (they get so dirty and happy!), annual school play in which everyone has a part, … I could go on and on!
