Notes for Prospective Students
After you have toured our school, we welcome you to apply for
your child(ren) to be considered for admission.We are always
accepting applications. Once you have completed the application,
please return with the fee via email, mail or drop off. To pay
your application fee online click here. Once your
application with payment is received and reviewed by our Director
of Admissions and Head of School, you will be notified and updated
regarding your place in the admissions process. Applicants will
then be placed in the waiting pool or, if a possible placement is
determined, be contacted for an evaluation and interview with our
Head of School. When a possible placement is determined, the
Director of Admissions will contact you to arrange a student
evaluation and parent interview with our Head of School. It is
important both custodial parents attend the interview when
possible. Children are placed according to the needs of the
individual classroom communities. We strive for communities
that reflect balance and diversity of socioeconomic level, race,
ethnicity, age and gender. Criteria for placement is based upon
space availability, the child`s age and readiness for the program
as well as the parent`s commitment to the Montessori
philosophy and school culture. An admission decision letter
will be sent to the family within 15 days of the interview/student
evaluation date. Since we often receive more applications
than openings available, some accepted candidates will be placed in
our waiting pool. You may be asked to interview before or after you
are placed in the waiting pool. When, and if, an opening
occurs, we review all candidates in the waiting pool and offer the
space to the child who best complements the classroom
community. We strive for communities that reflect
balance and diversity of socioeconomic level, race, ethnicity, age
and gender.For fall enrollment, we will keep your child`s
application until the school opens in August. If an opening for
your child has not occurred by September, we will contact you via
email to ask if you wish to keep your child`s application in the
waiting pool. If you choose not to accept an opening for your child
when offered or you do not maintain your child`s application in the
waiting pool, and you seek admission for the following school year,
it will be necessary to re-apply, and a new, non-refundable
application fee will be required. IT IS PART OF
OUR MISSION TO PROVIDE FAMILIES WITH AN AUTHENTIC
MONTESSORI EDUCATION. WE KEEP THIS MISSION FOREMOST IN MIND WHEN
PLACING CHILDREN INTO OUR CLASSROOM COMMUNITIES.
