• Acceptance

  Applicant acceptance is based on several factors, one of which is a successful match of the family's and the school's educational goals. Siblings of currently qualifying students and children transferring from other Montessori schools are given priority. New applicants are admitted for remaining spaces, while gender and age balance is maintained within the classrooms. Evaluations, test scores, or grades from an applicant's recent school, if applicable, also play an important part in the selection process. Each application is reviewed by the Admission Committee. The first notification of acceptance takes place mid-March. Accompanying the acceptance letter email are directions for completing enrollment online. A one time, new student fee of $1,000.00 will be required in order to submit an enrollment contract.

• Wait Pool

  Applicants who have been accepted for all reasons other than space availability will be placed in our wait pool. Families will be notified when a place becomes available.

• Admission Policy

  Alcuin School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, nationality, or ethnic origin in its admissions. Admissions are based upon the space available and an evaluation of the suitability of Alcuin School for each student.
