Admissions

Consideration for admissions includes  readiness for a school setting, prior Montessori experience and the age of the child. There  are no academic requirements as each child will be worked with individually at their own developmental level. Re-enrollment for current families occurs during  January; enrollment opens to the public February 1st.   The first step in the admissions process is to come and observe our children at work and at play in one of our authentic, classroom environments.

Process:

  1. Please call or email the school to schedule an classroom observation and tour of the school.
    OR,  Attend an open house. Please check our calendar for the date of the next event.
  2. Submit the application with the application fee and copy of the child’s birth certificate.
  3. Upon acceptance, you will receive the enrollment agreement which guarantees your child’s space at Deer Path.

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. If space becomes  available during the year it is filled from the applications on file. Enrollment for the next school year opens in February.
