Cedar Montessori School is a one-of-a-kind Montessori program located just off Barbur and Terwilliger in Southwest Portland. The maximum enrollment for CMS is sixteen children. CMS is run by three experienced teachers, all holding Association Montessori Internationale* diplomas as well as postgraduate degrees.
The teachers work in partnership creating a program devoted to the guiding principles of a true Montessori education. The staff's distinctive cooperative spirit and the school's small size allow the teachers to ignite a child's potential while guiding each child's evolving developmental needs.
By housing both a Toddler and a Primary program, CMS offers families the rare opportunity to experience six years of educational continuity in a nurturing community.
