Thank you for your interest in Greensboro Montessori School. We enroll children from the toddler years through the ninth grade, and we welcome and embrace diversity by providing a safe and supportive environment that is open and inclusive. Our community includes and is enhanced by people from many different cultures, races, nationalities, faiths, learning and physical abilities, sexual orientations and gender identities, ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and family constellations.

We encourage families interested in applying to take the first step in the process, which is to learn more through a virtual information session. Our director of admission, Rhea Egbert, is also available for personal calls.

We are currently accepting applications for students to enroll in the 2023-24 school year. To be considered for enrollment, applicant families must complete the application process by Wednesday March 15, 2023. We will begin reviewing our pool of applicants the following day.

We've provided next steps for applying below, and we understand the application process can be complex. Please rely on our director of admission, Rhea Egbert, to support you throughout this journey. Never hesitate to pick up the phone or send her an email.

Let us know you're interested in our School. Please complete our inquiry form so that we can connect with you. We'll keep you updated on upcoming events, including opportunities to visit campus and learn more about our community. 

Just like our Montessori curriculum, we take a developmental approach to the application process, and the flow of your child's application looks different based on their age. Please remember, applications are not complete until all forms have been submitted, you've personally met with our director of admission, and if applicable, your child has attended their student visit. The deadline to complete the application process is Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

The admission committee will begin reviewing complete applications on Thursday, March 16, 2023. Following this review process, our director of admission will contact each family personally. Families with admitted students will receive an email, which will contain all information for enrollment including tuition payment options and enrollment contracts. Students currently enrolled at Greensboro Montessori School, siblings of currently enrolled students, children of alumni, and Montessori transfer students are given preference in enrollment decisions. Admission decisions are based upon teacher interviews, class compositions, past and present recommendations from other schools, parental support, and commitment to our Montessori program.

When we have more applications than we have availability, we create a wait pool, rather than a waitlist. Should a space become available, we look to the wait pool to find a potential applicant. When finding a new student to join a class, we consider which age and personality would best fit the classroom community. We also give priority to siblings of current Greensboro Montessori School students and students moving from another Montessori school. Applications in the wait pool can also be rolled over to the next academic year.
