  • A 20-30 minute interview will be scheduled for your child with the Directress. Admission decisions are made by the faculty after an interview with the child and parents.
  • Upon acceptance, a full month's tuition advance is due as deposit. This advance deposit is refundable with a written 30-day notice if your child must leave during the school year.
  • All children between the ages of 2 ½ - 5 are eligible for enrollment in the primary program.
  • Previous Montessori experience, readiness and age and sex of the child as they relate to class balance will be considered as factors of acceptance.
  • Children need to have a complete medical examination / assessment and be current on their imunizations before being accepted to school.
  • Montessori primary school is ideally a three-year program. The first two years lay the groundwork for the third year (kindergarten). MSOR is a state approved kindergarten. Parent education is offered and encouraged to understand the Montessori method and to assist in your child's development and education.
