| The Admission Process Step 1: Once you are confident that your child is ready for the structure of a Montessori school, please contact us to schedule a tour of our facilities. This will give you the opportunity to speak with the teacher and the director, and to ensure that our environment will be a good fit for your child. Our Director may meet with your child to ascertain your child's readiness.
It is our policy to consider each child's admission and placement individually- regardless of race, color, gender, or national origin- and to admit each student on a six-week provisional basis. At the end of the six-week period we will talk with you about your child's progress.
Step 2: Assuming there is space available, you will be given an application to fill out on-site or at home. Step 3: Upon completion of the application, it is returned to the director with a $50 non-refundable application fee. This fee will be used towards two "trial days" in which your child will visit with the class and the teacher for assessment. A trial day typically lasts from 8:30 am--12:30 pm.
Step 4: If everything goes well with your child's trial days, you will be given a school handbook and the necessary forms needed for your child's file. For your child's safety and to comply with state regulations, all enrollment papers and health records must be completed when your child begins school. These records and forms are kept in the school office and must be updated as changes occur in order to comply with licensing requirements. These documents are very important, as they also specify who is authorized to pick up your child from school, or who should be contacted in case of an emergency.
Tuition Policy
The tuition is based on a formula, which spreads the school year tuition over an academic year calendar. Like many other private schools, tuition is paid on a monthly basis, and is due and payable on the 1st or the 15th of each month. A late fee is assessed for all tuition that is more than 3 days late. A service fee is charged in the event that a check is returned. There is no reduction in monthly tuition for months including holidays, emergency or all-school closings, sick days or family vacation days. Our school follows the Leander ISD school calendar as closely as possible, not including staff development days or bad-weather makeup days. Closings are non-refundable in the tuition formula.
