Admissions Process
Your Discovery House journey begins here.
Admission is a two-way discovery: we get to know your child and family, and you get to know us. Applications are accepted throughout the year.

Understanding the journey
Three things parents should know
How decisions are made
Admissions decisions are based on an evaluation of the child’s play visit, the parents’ interview, and the needs of existing classes with regard to balance of age and sex.
After acceptance
If admission is offered, parents pay the Registration Fee to collect the application packet, and a place is held for the child.
The waitlist
If a place is not immediately available, families are added to the waitlist and notified as soon as a space becomes available.
Coming from another school?
Transfers are welcomed
Children transferring from other Montessori or traditional schools are welcomed at any point in the year, subject to availability and an evaluation of fit.
