STUDENT AWARDS
Cedar International School recognizes the importance
of honouring both the academic and extra-curricular contributions of its
students. Awards and scholarships provide a forum to honour these
achievements based on academic merit, excellence in a specific area and/or
outstanding contributions to the local school or local community.
Cedar is grateful for the annual gifts from individuals that make these
awards possible. If you or someone you know is interested in supporting
student scholarships or awards, please contact the Development Office at
(284) 494-9312 or email jaeda.wooldridge@cedarschoolbvi.com.
