Admissions Process

Step 1: Inquire

Take a few moments to reach out to us with your questions and get some additional information about Roots and what makes Roots Montessori unique. 

Step 2: Visit

The best way to understand the value of a Montessori education is to experience our programs and our faculty first hand. Families are invited to visit our school for a tour during the school day or for any of the admission open houses or events.

Step 3: submit an Application for Admission

Roots is a rolling enrollment school, so there is no cutoff date for applications. Applications can be submitted at any time and will be considered as long as space is available.  However, for greatest consideration, please review the recommended application dates below: 

Legacy Applications (siblings of current students and staff dependents) - Due by December 1st

Early Childhood Applications - Due by December 31st

Elementary Applications - Due by January 31st

Financial Assistance Applications - Due by January 15

For those interested, learn more about our Financial Assistance program. 

Step 4: spend the day with us

For our Early Childhood Applicants:

You and your child will be invited to attend a Meet & Greet Session with one of our Early Childhood Teachers*.  This will allow us to work with your child on some activities and answer questions parents may have about their child's readiness for the program.  

*please note that due to the large number of applications and limited number of spaces available, not all applicants will be invited into a Meet & Greet session.  This is a decision based on date of application and legacy applicants.

For our Elementary and Middle School Applicants:

Upon completion of the above steps, you child will be invited to experience a day as a Roots student.  This will allow us to get to know your child better and for you to assess if Roots feels like a good fit for your family.  

Step 5: Enrollment

After completing the above steps, our Admissions Committee will make a decision regarding whether Roots could be a good fit to serve your student well. *
