2024-2025 Enrollment Process
Thank you for your interest in our Elementary Montessori Program!
We’re happy to arrange a time and date for you to come visit Fiddlehead. Please email us at admin@thefiddlehead.org to schedule a time to observe our classroom. During this 30-45 minute parent-only observation, parents can view our classroom and see our teachers and students at work. After the observation, the director will arrange a time to debrief and answer questions.
When you are ready to apply, please click the green button below to submit Student Application through TUIO. A $75 non-refundable Application Fee is required to complete the process. We maintain a wait pool rather than a waitlist. Children are not chosen on a first come, first served basis, but instead accepted based on our classroom’s openings. While no Montessori experience is required, we give preference to children with previous Montessori experience and balance our classes based on age and each child’s unique qualities. We screen applicants through holding an in-person interview to observe the ability to work independently in a Montessori classroom. We will also contact the child’s prior school in order to obtain information and past progress/report card.
Applications received by March 31 will be notified of their status by mid-April. Those who have not been selected, or applied after March 31, will be placed in our wait pool.
Try Montessori Day for Elementary students, where your child is invited to join the classroom for a day, is planned on the first week of June, 2024.
If a family applies and is not accepted, we will keep the application in the waiting pool for the school year applied.
Scholarship is available to enrolled families in need of financial assistance. Scholarship Application is due April 30th, and selected families will be notified on May 15.
