How to Enroll: Our Admissions Process
The process for enrolling at Albemarle Montessori Children’s Community is very easy. We want your experience in choosing a program for your child to be as tailored to you as our program is tailored to your child’s needs. There are three simple steps for our admissions process:
Submit an Enrollment Application. If the application is for the Toddler, Pre-Primary or Primary classes, please complete our Supplemental Application (on the back) as well. We have a one-time application fee of $25 (paid by check, cash, or our online payment portal: request.plastiq.com/pay-amcc-invoice). AMCC has no registration or administrative fees as do many other private schools and only asks for a deposit (which will be applied to your child’s tuition during the final month of their Kindergarten year). For older students we just retain a deposit of their first month’s tuition to hold the spot. Since the Montessori curriculum adapts specifically to your child, enrollment can occur at any point during the year!
Tour the Community - We would love to have you come tour our school, meet our director, and discover the *magic* of Montessori, by observing our students hard at work in the classroom! Our tours are for parents only and last about 1 hour in total. AMCC offers tours on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9:00AM. These must be scheduled in advance either by phone or email.
Classroom Visits - Once the above steps are taken by a family, and a space becomes available in the program, we can schedule your child to come for a student one-on-one trial visit. This will be an opportunity for your precious little one to visit our Community, see the classroom, and receive some sample Montessori lessons from the Lead Guide in an environment that is comfortable and relaxing. If it looks like a good fit all around, we can proceed forward with the enrollment process, which includes a half-day visit to the classroom and allows for your child to experience the full Montessori work cycle! For Elementary students (1st-6th grade), we require a Teacher Recommendation Form to be completed by your child’s current teacher, prior to their half-day visit. This will allow us to know how best to support them in the classroom. Our goal is for every child to feel welcomed into the Montessori environment and have the opportunity to discover the wonders of our AMI program before enrolling!
The vision of our Children's Community to be a school that makes the highest quality Montessori education available for the everyday working family. When you enroll your child at Albemarle Montessori, you are making an investment in quality education that will provide a lifetime of benefit. All of us at AMCC are proud to be a part of this sweet Community and would love to show you and your family what makes our school so special!
