Admissions Process
Key Steps in Our Admissions Process
Explore Our Programs: Visit our website to learn about our diverse programs, which start with toddlers (18-36 months) and continue through secondary students (grade 7).
Schedule an Enrollment Tour on Campus:
Experience our learning environment firsthand.
Tours happen November-April.
Enrollment tours happen from November through February.
When you book your tour, you will receive more information.
The Enrollment Tour consists of:
A 30-minute walk around campus, both indoors and outdoors.
Observations in Classroom Environments.
Individual Parent Meetings.
Application Submission: Fill out both the admission and financial aid applications to be considered for our sliding-scale tuition. Please ensure that you have your financial documents ready by February for re-enrollment and by March for new enrollments to support a timely submission.
Student Visits: In the spring, a half-day to three-day visit is arranged depending on the child's age. Typically, kindergarten (5-year-olds) enjoy a half-day visit, and elementary children stay for 1-3 days, depending on our guide's recommendations. This step helps us assess the student's learning needs and suitability for our Montessori environment.
Waitlist Notes:
At CMS, our waitlist is for families who have completed the entire admission process (see steps 1-4 above) and have been accepted, but we do not currently have an opening available for their level. If a spot opens, you will receive notice.
