Placement
- A parent observation visit
- Parents submit an application for admission with $30 non-refundable application fee
- Teacher/student interview
- Execution of enrollment contract with $100 deposit
The extended-day program is for students with demonstrated aptitude and maturity for the all-day program. This must be the child’s third year in primary, or the child must be five years of age to be considered for extended-day.
For a student who is accepted into an elementary class without having a Montessori education background, a trial period of four to six weeks allows for the teachers to observe appropriate aptitude and to determine compatibility for our program.
A Montessori education is more than a way to give your child facts. It's a way to inspire them, to shape their view of the world and how they will participate in it. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to the Pinewoods community!
