Steps
For additional questions about enrollment, please email enrollment@aroundthesunmontessori.com.
- Enrollment applications become available via the online platform Brightwheel no later than January 15 of each year. New and returning families may fill out an enrollment form any time after they become available, but should submit them online no later than February 1. Once the registration fee is paid, students have an active application for enrollment.
- Active applications are processed in two batches: (1) returning students and siblings and (2) new students.
- All returning students are guaranteed placement for the next school year in their current primary class (morning, afternoon, or all-day) or in elementary if aging out of the primary program. Returning families will be notified of placement on March 1.
- New students' applications are processed as a single batch and classroom placements are made by group. Please note that we can accommodate a small number of students who have not been toilet trained, but most first-year students will need to be able to use the bathroom with minimal adult assistance. Parents will be notified of their child’s class placement or waitlist status by March 15.
- As waitlist spots become available, parents will be notified. If the placement is accepted, a tuition deposit will be billed and due within 7 business days.
- A non-refundable deposit equal to one month's tuition is due for all new students by May 1 and all returning students by June 1. If enrollment takes place after June 1, the deposit is due in full at the time of enrollment. Failure to pay this deposit will result in losing placement and the opening will be filled with another family.
