Admissions

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.

Waitlist
MMIS has rolling admissions with applications accepted year‑round. If there is no immediate opening for a new student, the child's name is added to the wait pool.
