We are fully enrolled for the 2019-20 school year.
You are welcome to submit an application to be put on our waiting list. A spot often becomes available mid-year.
Admission and Enrollment
“Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.” Maria Montessori
At Children's Own School, we try to keep the admissions process as simple as possible. Our Open House is the opportunity to get to see our facilities and meet our community before you apply, but the essence of the school must be experienced when school is in session! We look forward to getting to know your family during the admissions process.
If you missed our Open House at the end of October, you can still apply. Once we receive your application we will invite you for a tour, classroom observation, and visit with staff.
The Application Process
Applications
Children’s Own School accepts applications, accompanied by an application fee of $50.00, beginning on October 1st the year prior to admission. The application deadline is January 31.
We are looking for families committed to Montessori education and who are ready to stay for the developmental cycle of our primary program. Therefore, we do not rank applications based on when they are received. Admission is determined after careful consideration as to the appropriate placement for the child and with attention to balancing our classrooms by age and gender.
After we receive your child's application we will invite you to attend an Information Session where you will have an opportunity to learn more about the Montessori method and observe a classroom.
Enrollment Notification
Decision letters are sent out in the middle of March.
Open House
We are very proud of our school, and we'd like to give prospective parents the chance get to know our school community! Children's Own School hosts an Open House in the fall. This is a chance to see our classrooms and move freely throughout the facility. No reservations are necessary.
Parents Only Please.
2019 Open House is October 26, 2019 from 10:00am to 12:00 pm
Information sessions
Information sessions are the chance to learn more about the Montessori method, meet with school staff, observe a classroom in action, and ask questions about our programs.
Information sessions are held on Fridays beginning in November and continuing through January. Once we receive your application we will contact you to schedule this.
Children's Own School does not discriminate on the basis of race, cultural heritage, religion, sexual orientation, national and ethnic origin, marital status, political beliefs, or disability; and ensures the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
