Steps of the Admissions Process

Step 2: After you have been introduced to the school and its program, you may submit an Admissions Application (the link will be sent by email after participating in the tour)
Step 3:Â Following receipt of the application:
- Depending on availability, you will be contacted to set up an in-person admissions interview for parents and a complete tour of all the classrooms, programs, and campus;Â
- For children applying for Kindergarten and up, a classroom visit, along with an educational screening, will be scheduled.
Step 4: Once the admissions interview and student visit (if applicable) have been completed, you will be notified about acceptance.
Step 5:Â If your child has been offered acceptance, you will receive an email with a link to the parent portal. Once you are in the parent portal you will follow the directions to complete the enrollment contract.

Special Considerations
Priority Applicants
Siblings of currently enrolled students, as well as children with a previous Montessori background, are given priority to the limited number of spaces we have in our classrooms. Part of what makes this model so successful is the long-term process of education and growth that Montessori is famous for. We have a commitment to our community to ensure its success by doing everything we can to create a diverse and stable environment.

Following the parents’ admissions interview and the child’s visit, you will be contacted once a decision is made. This process can take up to two weeks.
If your child has been offered acceptance, you will receive an email with a link to the parent portal. Once you are in the parent portal you will follow the directions to complete the enrollment contract.
Once we receive your nonrefundable $1,000 enrollment deposit your child's space will be secured.
Contracts received after the specified date will be accepted as long as there is still space available.
