Admissions Procedure

The admissions procedure is designed to give families an opportunity to learn about our school, its philosophy and policies, and to meet our teachers and staff. It also gives us an opportunity to assess each child’s situation and determine whether we are able to meet the needs and expectations of the parents/guardians. 
 
Children are accepted on the basis of readiness for school and potential for success in a Montessori classroom. It is equally important to determine whether the parents’ educational philosophy is compatible with that of PWMS.  Our goal is to enroll families who will both benefit from and contribute to what the school has to offer.
