Children with special needs.

To ensure we can serve all children well, we ask that you raise any (suspected) special needs with us during the admissions process.

Copies of any educational or psychological testing must be submitted before admission to the school.

Depending on the need (which can be anything from food allergies, to diabetes, to speech delays, or other learning challenges), we may ask your child to visit before offering enrollment, or request additional information from a treating physician.


The Admission Decision

If offered a spot, you have two weeks to secure it by returning a signed enrollment package (that includes the tuition agreement and items ranging from food preferences to vaccination reports, emergency contact and pick-up authorizations) with an enrollment deposit.

We make admission decisions based on many factors, with consideration given to balancing gender and age within each multi-age class community. We give priority consideration to siblings of enrolled students and to children of alumni families and faculty and staff.

Additionally, the Primary Montessori program being designed as a three-year cycle, Primary students are admitted with the expectation their parents intend to continue enrollment throughout the entirety of the three-year program in which they are placed.

Waiting list

Applicants placed on the waiting list will be notified when spots become available. Please note that the waiting list remain active only through the school year for which the application is submitted.


Non-Discrimination Policy

Our school is committed to building a diverse community of students and does not discriminate in its hiring, admissions practices, or any other form of access on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, sex, or disability.
