Admissions
Open Enrollment
Open enrollment starts in spring for fall classes and while we often have a waiting list, we make every effort to accommodate additional students. Interested parents can contact the school any time of year for more information.
Admissions Process
Children are evaluated on the basis of readiness for school and potential for success in a Montessori environment. It is equally important to determine whether the parents’ educational philosophy is compatible with that of MSPI. The admissions process consists of a parent observation visit with the Director, an evaluation of the child by a teacher, and submission of application form. Priority in enrollment is given to siblings and children transferring from another Montessori program. Applications for students older than three years of age are accepted if they are transferring from another Montessori school, or as space allows.
Re-enrollment
Re-enrollment takes place in early spring. Requirements for enrollment include payment of all fees, teacher recommendations, and submission of any necessary forms. A student’s re-enrollment is subject to approval by Montessori School of Pawleys Island.
