Admissions at Blue Ridge Montessori School

Before applying, we invite families to schedule a tour of our school. The tour lasts approximately 20 minutes and includes an overview of the program for your child(ren)’s age group, a walk through our campus, and a brief meeting with a team member to answer any questions you may have.

After you have toured our school, we welcome you to apply for your child(ren) to be considered for admission. We are always accepting applications. Once you have completed the application, please return with the application fee (listed in the tuition section below) via email, mail, or drop off. Once your application is received and reviewed by a member of our administration team, you will be notified and updated regarding your place in the admissions process. Applicants will then be placed in the waiting pool or receive an email or phone call of acceptance.

Since we often receive more applications than we have openings available, some accepted candidates will be placed in our waiting pool. When, and if, an opening occurs, we review all candidates in the waiting pool. Preference is given to siblings of current students. We strive for communities that reflect balance and diversity of socioeconomic level, race, ethnicity, strengths, and age. Children are placed according to the needs of the individual classroom communities. Criteria for placement is based upon space availability, the child’s age and readiness for the program as well as the parent’s commitment to the Montessori philosophy and school culture.

Once you have been accepted and your family is admitted, you're almost there! We are so excited for you to join our community. In your acceptance packet, you will also be sent an invoice through Procare for the Enrollment fee and a time will be arranged for you to pick up your enrollment packet. This paperwork is required to complete your child’s file. Please complete and return the enrollment packet prior to your child’s first day of enrollment.
Once the paperwork has been properly completed and turned in, you will receive a letter from the teacher(s) welcoming your child and notifying you of the placement. Welcome, and congratulations!
