Kedumim is characterized for placing an emphasis on education and developed several local institutions including: day care centers, kindergartens, two elementary schools, the Bnei Chayil Yeshiva, the Har Efrayim Yeshiva, the Lehava Ulpana High School (1000 girls), as well as a local music academy, and a public library.

Yeshivat Bnei Chayil Shomron (Hebrew: ישיבת בני חיל שומרון‎ is a high school yeshiva established in 1988 in order to provide an orthodox Jewish education for boys with ADD and ADHD. It is considered a unique facility in central Israel not limited to local students. Students in grades seven through twelve are divided into classes which are limited to a maximum of fifteen boys.

While many residents work outside the village, many are employed locally in education as well as several agricultural enterprises working with greenhouses and orchards. The Bar-On Industrial Park on 1200 dunams (1.2 km²) of land is within the municipal boundaries of Kedumim.

Perhaps the most famous local company is Kedumim (3000) Construction Company which mainly deals with building in the West Bank/Judea and Samaria.
