Admission FAQs

When should I apply to Omni?

We recommend starting the admissions process about a year in advance. To apply for the following school year, parents must schedule a tour, meet with the Director of Advancement, and observe a classroom.

Children are eligible for Omni's Primary Program around age three. Our curriculum is not a traditional "preschool" program but rather a three-year accredited educational journey. It’s best for parents to contact us after their child’s second birthday to begin the process.

What do the application abbreviations mean?

Here is a decoder for each level:
 

Can my child transfer to Omni if they don't have prior Montessori experience?

While most Omni students join us before age five or transfer from other Montessori environments, we do accept students without prior Montessori experience on a limited basis.

 When space is available, we carefully evaluate whether a Montessori environment will be beneficial for both the child and the class.

How does Omni's wait pool work?

If there’s no immediate opening, your child will be placed in our wait pool and contacted when a spot becomes available.

We balance classrooms by gender and age. Priority is given to siblings of current students, children of staff members, and students transferring from other AMI-certified Montessori schools.

Can I submit paper forms instead of enrolling online?

All enrollment must be done online via Family Portal (visit factsmgt.com). This platform allows you to access family records, forms, and directory. If you have trouble with online enrollment, please contact Hannah Earnhardt.

When should I apply for financial aid?

• For returning students, the deadline for submitting financial aid applications and tax returns is February 2, 2025. Award decisions will be communicated during the re-enrollment period.
• For new students, the deadline for applications and tax returns is March 1, 2025. Financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you have any questions about financial aid, please contact Donna Garrison in the business office.
