Step 1: Inquiry Form

The admissions process begins with the Inquiry Form, which can be submitted at any time. Completing this form in full is an important first step—it ensures we have the information needed to guide and support your family throughout the admissions journey.

Step 2: Schedule a Campus Experience

Your first in-person step is attending a Campus Experience, a parent group tour at one or both of our campuses:

Blakeney Campus (ages 3–12)

Waxhaw Campus (ages 12–15)

We encourage all prospective families to tour both campuses, regardless of their child’s age. Campus Experiences are for adults only, must be scheduled in advance ([register here]), and typically last one hour. During your visit, you’ll explore our thoughtfully prepared environments, learn about the Montessori method, and join a Q&A session. Campus Experiences are offered September–March, with additional dates added as needed.

Step 3: Classroom Observation

We invite at least one parent to observe a Montessori classroom in action. This 30-minute observation provides valuable insight into how Montessori education works and what daily life is like for our students.

Observations will resume on October 13, 2025, and are typically held from 9:00–9:30 AM on weekdays (except Tuesdays and Fridays).

Step 4: Submit Your Application

Once you’ve completed the admissions meeting, you may apply online with a non-refundable $75 application fee.

We accept applications for:

Primary Program (ages 3–5) - Montessori Experience is required for P4 and P5 applicants.

Elementary Program (rising 1st and 6th grades)

Adolescent Program (rising 7th grade)

Montessori Transfer Students (ages 3 through 7th grade from accredited Montessori schools)

New student openings are typically identified in February, following re-enrollment of current families. Availability varies each year by grade level. If space is available, you will be invited to proceed with the next step; otherwise, your child will be added to our wait pool.

Step 5: Student Visit & Interview

When an opening becomes available, we’ll schedule a visit for your child. A $50 non-refundable fee is due at this time.

Primary Program (Ages 3–5)
Your child will spend about 30 minutes in the classroom with a guide who will offer lessons and observe readiness for school, including independence, ability to follow directions, social-emotional development, and communication skills.

Elementary & Adolescent Programs
Your child will spend one or two days in the classroom, fully immersed in the environment. Guides will observe both academic and social engagement to assess readiness for Montessori learning.

After the visit, guides will share their observations with you and provide insight into the curriculum and classroom culture. This step ensures the best possible placement for your child.
