Application Process

Admission Procedure 

The admission procedure begins with an observation of the classroom by the parent/caregiver and a short conference with the administrator. After this meeting, the parent/caregiver is invited to complete an application, along with a non-refundable remittance of $50.00. This application will be dated and filed in the school office. The parent/caregiver is encouraged to schedule a “Child Visit” as the next step. 

As availability is determined in the classrooms after the re-enrollment of current families and siblings, calls are made to families according  to the dates on the applications for the purpose of scheduling “Child Visits” if such visits have not yet occurred. These visits typically take place in April and May. 

“Child Visits” at the Early Elementary, Elementary and Middle School levels typically occur over two or three days spent in the classroom. During this time, teachers have the opportunity to observe the child in a variety of situations to be sure that the Montessori environment is a good fit. Complete records from any previous schools will also be requested. An additional conference with the parent/caregiver may also occur in order to clarify expectations and answer questions. The school will follow up within one to two weeks to determine the next step in the process.
