Admissions Standards

The admission policies and criteria consider not only a student’s suitability for a specific classroom but also their and their family's commitment to Montessori education and active participation in school life.

 At Our Journey Montessori School, we uphold a nondiscrimination policy that ensures all applications for admission are considered without regard to race, gender, disability, religion, national or ethnic origin. Additionally, we actively promote diversity as a core value in our curriculum, student body, and staff. We believe that fostering a diverse environment enriches the educational experience by exposing children to different backgrounds, learning styles, and innate talents.

 We uphold the privacy rights of all prospective students and families, and maintain strict confidentiality of all reports, records, interview information, and any other materials obtained during the admission application process.

We embrace applications from a diverse range of students, understanding that each child's development is unique. While we strive to accommodate a wide array of learning needs, we acknowledge our limitations in addressing highly complex or specialized needs without disrupting our program. Therefore, our admissions process considers our capacity to support specific special needs when evaluating applications. Students with special needs within our capability may be accepted on a provisional basis.

Placement decisions will be finalized by the Directress, taking into consideration input from parents, teachers, and records. Final enrollment decisions may require interviews and classroom visits by both students and parents. The Directress's decisions will prioritize the individual needs of each child and their role within the classroom community.
