Admission procedures start with a scheduled tour of MBMA.  Tours are for adults only and 6-8 people are scheduled in a group.  All classrooms and levels are visited and a good, in-depth overview of curriculum is discussed, as well as seeing children working the Montessori environment.  Parents leave their information for the waiting list at the time they visit. Evaluations are scheduled for the child/children after the tour date.  An evaluation is a readinesss assessment for the purpose of determining whether the school is a good fit for the child, and to determine at what level the child’s needs may be met.  Elementary aged children will need a current progress report from their previous school/teacher, along with skills evaluation by an MBMA teacher.   Preschool “readiness” us usually around 3 yrs of age, but may differ depending on the child.  They do need to be toilet trained prior to scheduling an evaluation.  Parents will know more what “readiness” looks like once they have visited the classroom.

All children, preschool-6^th.grade attend 5 full days.  In summer 5 half days are available.  The regular academic day is 8:00-3:30.
