In addition, there is an awake faculty member in each dorm throughout the night. Each student's daily schedule will vary as they progress through the school. At CEDU Middle School, morning activities may include academic classes, meetings and discussions, leadership and service commitments such as working in the wood corral, landscaping, gardening and chores. Lunch is followed by elective classes, peer group counseling sessions or activities. Outdoor recreational activities, such as volleyball, basketball, cross-country skiing, running and swimming can also be a part of the individual students' daily schedule.
Students have time to talk and exchange their personal histories.
Evening hours provide an ideal time for relationship building and frequently include Big Brother and Big Sister interaction with new students. Saturday morning is spent doing general campus cleanup, with elective classes or activities in the afternoon. A later wake-up on Sunday mornings helps create a change of pace. The day begins with brunch, followed by sports, personal time, study and recreational activities throughout the day. Students may also go on day excursions to local cultural and recreational attractions in the area.
