Admissions	Admissions The 4 steps of the admission process: 1. Check availability of places: By providing basic information, we check availability and arrange an online meeting or in-person visit to learn about the school and its methodology. 2. Get to know our school: Once availability is confirmed, you can choose a date and time for an online meeting or an in-person visit. 3. Student visit: From entry into Year 1 (5 years old), the prospective student spends time in the classroom to get to know us. 4. Admission outcome and enrolment: After evaluation by the educational team, a recommendation for admission is shared based on English level, academic performance, and potential for adaptation to the group.	Admissions 1. Parent Meeting and School Tour. The first step is to schedule a guided tour with the School Director. This is an opportunity to observe the school in session, learn about Montessori methods, and discuss enrollment options. The tour helps families determine if MMIS is a school in which their child will thrive. The program is multilingual, with English, French, and Spanish woven into daily school life. 2. Application and parents questionnaire. Following the tour, submit an admission application and a request for transcripts form. The parents' questionnaire and any previous report focus on your child's personality and specific academic achievements. The information shared will assist our teachers in making the best classroom placement for your child. 3. Admission Decision. The Director and teacher confer to determine the appropriateness of enrollment based on the admissions criteria and the child's readiness. All decisions are communicated by the Director. MMIS has rolling admissions with applications accepted throughout the year; if there is no immediate opening, the child is placed in a wait pool. The MMIS school year runs from September to June; when a spot becomes available, the family is notified and has three business days to respond; if accepted, the family has one week to complete a contract and pay applicable fees. 4. Enrollment requirements. All students entering the Children's House program must be completely potty trained and able to dress independently. Children who do not have prior Montessori experience applying to the Primary program should have an inherent love to learn and proven ability to work both independently and in a group. Enrollment requires parents to submit the signed school contract, necessary emergency and medical forms as well as GDPRS and image consents.
