Admissions policies
As a small school, MWS considers carefully how to allocate spaces in the classroom to help create a supportive Montessori environment for all students.
Re-enrollment for current students typically opens after Martin Luther King Jr. Day. For new students, applications for the next school year will typically start to be reviewed President’s Day weekend.
Tours are available year round, and new student applications may be accepted during a school year depending on classroom space availability.
As a small school, we value each of our families. Our Admissions policies help create a Montessori environment that supports each student.
New student applications are accepted and processed as classroom space is available. Applications for the following school year will be processed starting after President’s Day weekend.
A non-refundable $100 registration fee is required to initially apply for any program. Once a student is offered enrollment for any program, a non-refundable fee of $400 is due to secure the classroom space.
For students in need of an IEP/Psychological Report for the Family Empowerment – Unique Abilities Scholarship, a $50 review fee may be applicable.
If the applications don’t exceed space, we process on a first come first serve basis, in the order we receive a completed application and fee. We look for students that we believe will feel successful in our environment. If application numbers exceed classroom space, we prioritize enrollment in this order:
-
Returning enrolled students
-
Siblings of currently enrolled students
-
Montessori transfer students
-
Morning only Preschool enrollments
-
Afternoon only PreKindergarten enrollments
