Montessori philosophy and tour the school. We encorage you to bring your child with you!
Partnering with Parents Meeting
This is a wonderful opportunity for the parents to observe their child’s potential classroom for thirty minutes, then meet with the admissions coordinator for about an hour to review the parent handbook and begin building that trusting relationship between parent and school that is so valuable for the success of the children. Both parents are encouraged to attend.
Child Visits Classroom

Primary students will visit for two consecutive mornings (9:00-12:00). Elementary students will visit for two consecutive school days (8:30-3:00).

Parents may observe their child via the camera during at any time durning the visit days.
Thirty minutes before the child’s visit concludes, parents meet with admissions director
to discuss their child’s success during their classroom visit. Ensuring the right environment for the child to thrive in is of the utmost importance.
