Enrollment Procedure
We encourage parents to visit the school and observe the classes while in session. We then arrange for a parent-teacher discussion so that the teacher will know more about the child and his / her home background.
The parents then send in the application with the registration fee to the school. Children may begin attending our school once the school handbook, tuition agreement, and all required documents have been signed. In addition, the first and last tuition installments must be paid prior to attending. Arrangements can be made if both payments cannot be made at the same time. Please include the registration fee when sending the enrollment application.
Notes: The administration reserves the right, however, to maintain a proper age balance within the classroom, an important requirement for proper Montessori environment,
Classes are held five days per week, Monday through Friday, except on Holidays.
A full school day starts at 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.
Half-school days are from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. (noon)
For the convenience of working parents, an extended daycare service is available from 7:00 a.m. or 2:30 p.m. until 6 p.m.
