Admissions Procedures

Step One: Take a Tour
Schedule a school tour and fill out our Inquiry Form. Please email [email protected] to schedule tour. 
 
Step Two: Observation
Once you have taken a tour, you will be able to sign up for a classroom observation. This is a one hour visit to see what takes place in the classroom.
 
Step Three: Submit an Application
Online enrollment applications are available after the tour. Completed applications must be accompanied by a non-refundable fee of $150.  First-round applications are due February 9, 2024. Following application review, qualified candidates will be invited to an in-person classroom visit. We require the submission of all supplemental documents prior to this meeting, including teacher recommendations, student report cards, most recent standardized testing scores, school records, and psychological evaluation or diagnostic testing, if applicable. After this, applications will be reviewed and admission will be offered to qualified candidates in early March on a rolling and space-available basis. 
 
The school accepts qualified students regardless of race, religion, or ethnic origins.  The school accepts those qualified students who, in the opinion of the school, will have success in the program and will enhance the classes for which they are applicants.
 
Applicants will be given priority in the following order:
  1. Qualified siblings of students continuing at St. Catherine’s Montessori
  2. Qualified applicants from other Montessori schools
  3. All other qualified applicants
The need to balance classes by age and gender is of the utmost importance.  Please see our Admissions Policy for further details.
