Admissions

Criteria

Because the program is emergent, children benefit most from the Montessori program when they enroll at an early age and complete 3 years. Our Primary program accepts children between the ages of 2.5 and 4 years old who are toilet-trained and able to leave their primary adult without difficulty. GSM has a rolling admission which means children may be admitted at any time during the school year, up to April, when there is a vacancy for their age group. Five year-olds with Montessori experience are admitted on an individual basis.

Enrollment Process

Schedule a tour at the school: A tour of the school will let you see Montessori at work, observe a classroom and get your questions answered to decide if our school is the right fit for your family. 

Submit an application: By submitting an application along with a $125. registration fee you are added to a wait-list. Once current family re-enrollment is completed in March, wait-list applications will be reviewed. 

Parents will be notified to confirm placement: This is based on balancing age and gender for each the classroom. 

Upon confirmed placement, a non-refundable deposit of $150. is due to secure your space: This is credited to the end of your child's kindergarten year tuition.

An official enrollment packet will be emailed to you: Complete all paperwork and submit it prior to your child's start date.
