River’s Edge Montessori PreK-6 School, located on Linwood Street in Dayton, Ohio, is a specialized public school that utilizes the Montessori method to foster student development. As a magnet program within the Dayton Public Schools district, the school focuses on creating a "prepared environment" that encourages independence, self-directed learning, and hands-on exploration. By integrating multi-age classrooms, the school allows students to progress at their own pace, fostering both social-emotional growth and academic mastery in core subjects.

The school is dedicated to nurturing the "whole child," emphasizing critical thinking, collaborative work, and community responsibility. Because it serves students from Pre-K through 6th grade, River’s Edge provides a consistent educational foundation that bridges early childhood development with the transition to middle school. Through its Montessori-certified curriculum, the school aims to cultivate a lifelong love of learning and curiosity in a structured, supportive atmosphere that values the unique potential of every student.
