Ithaca Montessori School

Admissions Procedure
The admissions process at Ithaca Montessori School (IMS) is designed to provide parents with the opportunity to learn more about the school, its philosophy and policies, and its people. Together we will determine whether IMS is the right choice for your child and your family. Below you will find step-by-step directions for admission:
Kid Picture 1. Please contact our school to make an appointment for a Parent Visit. This visit, for parents only, will allow you to see our facility and observe our teachers and students in the classroom setting. After your classroom observation you will meet with the Executive Director to discuss any questions you have. We believe this is the best way for you to learn more about the program offered at IMS. Parent Visits are scheduled on Thursdays between 10:00am – 12:00pm.

2. After completing your Parent Visit, please complete the Application for Enrollment (below) and return it to the school with the $50.00 application fee. Your application is regarded as a formal request for consideration of your child as a student at Ithaca Montessori School and your child will be placed on any existing waitlist for classroom placement.

3. Acceptances for the coming school year are mailed out during our open enrollment period in the spring. Those families applying after April will be notified upon acceptance.

4. To secure your child’s place, IMS must receive the signed Enrollment Contract, the $150.00 non-refundable enrollment fee, and the 10% tuition deposit within 2 weeks of acceptance.
