School Policies for Senior Elementary

Parkdale Montessori School welcomes all prospective parents and their families, and has a non-discriminatory admission policy for children.  Acceptance into our programs is based on many factors such as: availability, age and gender of the existing mixed-age group, etc.  Children may be admitted at any time during the school year, depending on availability of space.  Priority is always given to already enrolled students and their siblings.

The admission process can take place at any time of the year.  We encourage parents to submit their child’s application into our program as early as possible in the school year.  If our classes are full, your application will be processed and your child will be placed on a waiting list until a spot becomes available. 

It is vital to realize that the Montessori curriculum at the Senior Elementary level is based on a three-year cycle.  Therefore, it is in the child’s best interest that a commitment is made for that length of time.

 Requirements:

• Children must have completed the requirements of Montessori Junior Elementary program.
  
• Children who have completed the Junior Elementary program in another Montessori school must come for several visits in our Senior Elementary classroom prior to acceptance.
• Previous school record must be submitted for children applying for the Senior Elementary program.
