Cedar River Montessori School is an independent, nonprofit Montessori-focused educational institution serving students from age 3 through middle school in Renton, Washington. The campus sits on 12 acres of forested wetland and pasture, reflecting a natural setting integrated into daily learning. Founded in 1981, the school is accredited by the American Montessori Society and licensed by the Washington Department of Children, Youth, and Families, with approval as a private school by the state Department of Education.

The school emphasizes curiosity, exploration, and respectful engagement with the self, others, and the natural world, with a long-term goal that graduates become independent, empathetic lifelong learners and engaged global thinkers. It holds several state and community recognitions, including accreditation by the American Montessori Society, licensing by the Washington Department of Children, Youth, and Families, private-school approval by the Department of Education, and awards such as the 2018 Inclusive Employer Award from Trillium Employment, along with conservation designations like the Washington State Stewardship Forest and the King Conservation District’s 2016 Conservation Landowner Award.
