Principal's Welcome Message

Level Up: Welcome to the New School Year!

Welcome to another exciting year at Cedarlane Academy! As we begin this new chapter together, our theme for the 2026–2027 school year is Level Up—a reminder that every new year brings new opportunities to grow, challenge ourselves, and reach even greater heights.

At Cedarlane Academy, "Level Up" means striving for excellence in every aspect of learning and life. Whether it's mastering a new skill, embracing a new language, building meaningful relationships, or discovering new passions, we encourage every Thunderbird to take the next step toward becoming the very best version of themselves.

We are proud to be a school that offers exceptional opportunities for students through our K–8 Korean Dual Language Immersion Program, 6–8 Mandarin Dual Language Immersion Program, and our journey toward becoming an International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme Candidate School. These innovative programs reflect our commitment to providing a rigorous, globally minded education that prepares students to thrive in an ever-changing world.

At Cedarlane, we believe every child has limitless potential. Our mission is to inspire students to dream boldly, think critically, lead with integrity, and make a positive impact on the world around them. Through strong partnerships with families, dedicated educators, and a supportive school community, we create an environment where every student is encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our hope is that every Thunderbird leaves Cedarlane with a lifelong love of learning, the confidence to pursue their dreams, and the courage to embrace new challenges. Together, let's make this a year of growth, achievement, and unforgettable experiences as we all Level Up.

Thank you for being part of our Cedarlane family. We look forward to an incredible school year filled with learning, leadership, and success.

With gratitude and excitement,

John Kwon, Ed.D.
