Application Process

Download the IMS 2020 – 2021 application (PDF) below and fill it out. The application can be dropped off in person at the school, mailed to us, or emailed to enrollment@ithacamontessori.org

Once we receive your application, our staff will review it – if we have an opening for your child, we will contact you regarding their acceptance. If the class is currently full, you will be placed on the waiting list – and newly opened spots will be filled from the waiting list.

When your child is accepted to IMS, you will receive an acceptance letter along with our enrollment contract. To secure enrollment, you need to return the signed contract, as well as the $200.00 tuition deposit by the due date listed on your acceptance letter.

These two forms are due back to the school ATLEAST 2 WEEKS before the first day of school.

We will schedule a home visit for all new infants and toddlers accepted to IMS. A New Family Meeting with your child’s teacher (at the school) will be scheduled for all new children accepted to the school to discuss your child’s phase-in process into their classroom.
