TOUR: Scheduling a visit to our school is the most important first step in our enrollment process. This is an opportunity to tour our school, peek into our classrooms, converse about your child, and learn about Montessori education. SCMS only accepts applications after parent/s have toured.
APPLY: Following the tour, families can apply by completing the online application. Applications must include the non-refundable $100 application fee. Applications should be submitted by February 1st to be considered for enrollment for the school year ahead.
DECISION: Enrollment decisions are made the second week of February and are sent by email. Accompanying the acceptance letter is a link to the enrollment offer. Enrollment offers must be signed, and the $500 tuition deposit must be made within a week of acceptance to guarantee your child’s placement in our school.
ENROLLMENT: Acceptance of a child is based on several factors. The most important is being committed to the full cycle of our Montessori programs.
WAIT POOL: Applicants will be listed in our wait pool if enrollment is unavailable. When placing students in our classrooms, priority is given to balancing ages, learning styles, and personalities within the current class community. Parents are notified of classroom placement during the summer. We encourage parents to trust in our ability to make the optimal placement for their child.
