Admission & Enrollment Procedures

In its effort to create a balanced educational environment true to the philosophy of Dr. Montessori, a relatively even distribution of boys, girls, and ages is important in each three year developmental group.

Each year during the first two weeks of February, current students are given an opportunity to re-enroll for the next school year. All remaining spaces are offered to the public after this time.

Admission to the school adheres to the following priority basis:

Re-enrollment of current students
Five day students
Siblings of current students
Children of staff
Transfers from other Montessori schools
New students

Criteria for acceptance of new Early Childhood students:

The student’s demonstration of the ability to follow directions.
The parent’s understanding and acceptance of our basic goals and expectations.
