We want to provide some insight on our admissions process and calendar for families considering The Montessori House for school year 2013-4.

You should know that we fill up our full-day and morning sessions first, and some quite quickly.  Consequently, we urge families to visit the school (call 201-816-8343 to set up your personal tour of the school on most any day school is in session) and  submit their application for 2013-14 soon, especially if interested in a program that offers a full-day or morning session.  These include our full-day Kindergarten/First Grade (age 5-7) and full-day Pre-Primary plus Enrichment  (age 3-4) sessions, as well as our morning Pre-Primary (age 3-4) and morning Stepping Stones (age 2.5-3) sessions.

We finalize 2013-14 tuition rates in December and first offer 2013-14 placement to families with children currently at The Montessori House,.  These families have until early January, 2013 to provide us a reservation tuition deposit for their preferred 2013-14 program. 

By mid-January we  start to offer placement to new applicants, more or less in the order paid applications were received at the school.   New applicants will know before the end of January if we have space in their preferred session, or if they are on a wait list for 2013-14.  As with our current families, we ask new applicants to confirm their preferred session and provide us a reservation tuition deposit to hold a 2013-14 place for their child. 

After January we have rolling admissions and  continue to offer placement in a session until that session is filled, at which point we’ll start a session wait list.  A family may choose to enroll in an alternate session, but still join the wait list for their preferred session.  

Again, we urge families interested in 2013-14 to submit an application soon, as we expect some sessions will fill up very quickly. 

Families interested in a scholarship through Friends of Montessori Foundation, should submit an application before January, 2013 and be sure to complete their financial aid application before February, 2013.
