Admission Process
Care must be taken to ensure that our Montessori school is the right fit for your child’s scholastic career.
The first step in the Montessori admissions process is to observe one of our classes.
Before considering enrollment in our school we encourage you to make an appointment to observe a classroom and tour our campus. This is an important first step in finding the right Montessori school for your child. During this first meeting we will also have an opportunity to go over the details of the programs and curriculum we offer as well as to answer any questions you may have for our staff.

VMS offers toddler, primary, elementary, and adolescent level Montessori programs. While it is presumed that all children
will advance from one program to the next, entrance into each new program requires either an evaluation for
readiness or a recommendation from the student’s teacher.

Primary class candidates apply for an educational program wherein the final year is the child’s kindergarten year.
All applicants are expected to complete the Montessori primary program, as this is a crucial part of the child’s
culmination of learning in this curriculum. A multi-age classroom community thrives when older children share
their wisdom with younger students. The mentorship aspect of the environment provides the older child
opportunities for growth, both intellectually and socially, not present in a single-aged setting. Please note:
Acceptance of siblings of children whose parents elect to not complete the program is at the discretion
of the administration.
