About Us
Guiding Principles and Mission
Our Mission
At Cedar River Montessori School, we stay curious, grow by exploring and asking questions, and show respect for ourselves, others, and the natural world.
We live our mission statement at all levels of our organization – from the classroom to the boardroom. Adults in the Cedar River community are open-minded, curious people who think independently and creatively. These personal characteristics are fundamental to fostering a creative and collaborative school environment and healthy workplace where the adults model these characteristics in daily interactions with each other and with the students.
Together as a community, living our mission daily prepares us to realize our vision.
