Admissions and Enrollment Process Overview

The Montessori Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion or sex in administration of its educational policies, admissions, financial aid programs, athletic and other school-administered programs. 

Enrollment Process

1. Return completed application and nonrefundable application fee of $150 per child. If your child is enrolled in the Montessori Academy, this fee will apply towards tuition.

2. Upon receipt of completed application, schedule a meeting with the director. This is a time for us to learn about you and your child, for you to learn more about us, and to determine whether our school is a good fit for your family.

3. If your child is currently attending or has attended another school, the director will provide a Teacher Recommendation Form. Please complete the top portion of the form and give to current/previous school office to complete remainder of form. This form should be mailed back to us directly from the current/previous school.

4. Provided that your family and the school agree upon the Montessori philosophy and environment, and there is space available, admission will be granted.

5. You will have two weeks to respond to our letter of acceptance. You will also be required to sign a tuition contract and provide a tuition deposit of $500.

6. After we have received your signed contract and deposit, you will have the option of applying for financial aid according to the process below. 
a. Return the complete financial aid application and all relevant documents. 
b. Once we advise you of our decision, you will have two weeks to accept our decision and continue the enrollment process, or decline our decision and end the enrollment process, upon which the tuition deposit will be refunded.

7. Once the financial aid process is complete, or if you did not request to apply for financial aid, all necessary enrollment forms will be sent to you. You must return all complete enrollment forms before the first day of school. 

8. The balance of your tuition will be due before the first day of school. We may be able to offer the option of a payment plan.

Please contact the School to request an enrollment application.
