Admission process

ACCEPTANCE OF A CHILD IS BASED ON SEVERAL FACTORS, AMONG THEM ARE THE MATCH OF THE FAMILY’S AND THE SCHOOL’S EDUCATIONAL GOALS FOR THE CHILD AND PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROJECT.

ONE OF OUR GOALS IS TO MAINTAIN GENDER AND AGE BALANCE WITHIN THE CLASSROOMS.

WE ASK THAT YOUR CHILD COMPLETES A MINIMUM 3 YEAR TERM OF MONTESSORI SCHOOL CYCLE:

01. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH MONTESSORI PHILOSOPHY
