Cedars Montessori School

Cedars Montessori School is a specialized Montessori academy in southwest Austin that serves children ages 3 through 12 with a strong emphasis on individualized and inclusive education. The school's AMI and AMS accredited teachers are trained in child-centered, self-paced learning, which particularly benefits students with learning differences, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder who thrive in low-pressure, multi-sensory environments.

With an average class size of 25 students, Cedars offers a flexible educational structure that supports students who need alternative classroom arrangements. The school's 16-acre rural setting includes extensive outdoor learning spaces such as a 3-acre natural play area, nature trails, a weather station, farm animals, and a ropes course. Each classroom also features its own garden, providing sensory-rich experiences that support students who benefit from movement breaks and hands-on learning.

Cedars explicitly supports students with ADD/ADHD and welcomes families seeking an inclusive, individualized approach to education. Admission is rolling with no deadline, and tuition is $15,200 annually. The school's combination of trained Montessori educators, small class communities, and documented support for students with special needs makes it a strong option for families exploring alternatives to traditional classroom structures.
