Elementary/Adolescent Enrollment Process
OPEN HOUSEProspective parents (without their child) are asked to attend an Elementary open house. This one and one half hour meeting includes an overview of Montessori, questions and answer session and a tour of the facility. See Open House calendar for schedule dates. OBSERVE IN A CLASSROOM After attending the Open House, contact the Admissions Coordinator to schedule a 30 minute classroom observation (without your child). PROSPECTIVE PARENT MEETING The Admissions Coordinator will call to schedule a 30 minute meeting with a member of the Administrative team. Whenever possible, we strongly suggest both parents attend the interview (without their child). WAIT-LIST Initial application may be made up to three years in advance of the desired enrollment date. Wait-list forms are available online. Applicants are waitlisted on a first come first served basis. Families currently enrolled in Keystone's Children's House program MUST go through the Elementary enrollment process. In compliance with ARS 15-184 http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ars/15/00184.htm , Keystone Children's House students are NOT given enrollment preference. Families must notify the school of their desire to remain on the waitlist by January 1st of each year. However, the applicant's original waitlist date will determine their position on the following year's waitlist. Failure to confirm desire to remain on the wait-list will result in removal from the wait-list. ENROLLMENT Following the re-enrollment of current students, new students will be enrolled for available spaces from the waitlist on a first come first serve basis. Siblings of current Elementary/Adolescent students are given priority. When a position is offered, the position must be secured within 3 business days. PLACEMENT True to the Montessori philosophy, classes are filled with an emphasis on balancing gender and ages. We strongly believe in the strength and integrity of all Keystone classrooms. It is the policy of Keystone Montessori School not to accept parent requests for specific classroom placements. Placement decisions are made by the educational team. |
