Admissions Application
for the 2014-2015 School Year
ADMISSIONS
Children are evaluated on the basis of readiness for school and potential for success in a Montessori classroom. It is equally
important to determine whether the parents’ educational philosophy is compatible with that of GMA. Global Montessori Academy has
a non-discriminatory policy relative to race, color, and national origin with respect to the admission of students and the employment
of faculty and administrative staff.
APPLICATION PROCESS
1. Schedule a private tour of our school. Tours are scheduled during regular school days from October through April.
2. Submit a completed Admissions Application along with the $50 non-refundable application fee. We will begin accepting
applications for the 2014-2015 school year in September, giving priority to those submitted before February 1, 2014.
3. Notification of acceptance will be sent by March 15, 2014.
Please note:

The application process for all levels begins again each September for the following school year. Applications will not be
carried over year to year.
 Criteria for acceptance will vary by age and may include teacher assessments based on interviews and classroom visits,
make-up of current class and available space. Children applying for the Toddler Program do not need to be potty trained.
However, children applying for the Primary program, ages 3-6, must be potty trained at the time of enrollment.
