ADMISSION CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERATION
Admission is a subjective, compassionate, and holistic process. We carefully weigh all elements to determine whether the school and family are a strong mutual fit. This ensures the best possible experience not only for your child but for the entire classroom community.
We prioritize families who demonstrate
· A genuine understanding of Montessori philosophy - (child-led, mixed-age, hands-on learning).
· Respect for the child’s independence, intrinsic motivation, and development.
· A willingness to avoid external rewards, punishments, or traditional academic pressures.
· Openness to trust the process, even if outcomes differ from conventional schools.
We value families who are willing to support the Child’s Development at Home by
· Creating a home environment that reflects Montessori principles
(independence, order & respect).
· Limiting screen time and encourage hands-on, meaningful activities.
· Practice consistency between home and school expectations.
· Avoid conflicting academic pressures (e.g., tutoring in reading/math outside Montessori scope for young children).
Additionally we appreciate parents who participate in school events and opportunities to enrich themselves by
· Attending parent education workshops and Montessori philosophy sessions held by school during the acedemin year.
· Participate in community events, classroom observations, and open houses.
· Show interest in learning how to apply Montessori principles at home.
Consistent participation in these opportunities often signals a long-term commitment to our shared mission.
Whenever possible, we encourage who :
Intend to keep their child enrolled through the full cycle of the program and they understand the cumulative developmental benefits of long term Montessori Education.
IN SUMMARY
Admission into our Montessori school is a thoughtful process. Beyond a child’s readiness, and the availability of a seat we also deeply consider the family’s alignment with our educational philosophy, community culture, and long-term commitment. Our goal is to build a supportive, collaborative environment for every child—and that includes the family as a key part of the learning ecosystem.
