Admissions

Admissions Process

1. Application- Call or email for an application to be sent to you. Once the application is filled out and sent back with a $50 application fee you will be called back to schedule the parent interview.

2. Parent Interview- An interview will be set up with the parents and the head of school as an informal way to get acquainted and share information.

3. Student Interview- Children will be introduced to the Montessori classroom materials and be allowed to explore the environment. Students will be informally assessed by the teacher.

4. Enrollment- Placement is left to the discretion of the Head of School. Once the child has been accepted parents must fill out the enrollment contract and health information as well as a non- refundable $500 tuition deposit within 30 days.

Financial Assistance Policy

While the availability of school resources, the number of qualified applicants, and overall budgetary constraints influence financial assistance decisions, the Malta Montessori School is committed to making grants available to as many eligible applicants as possible. In an effort to make the process fair to all, Malta Montessori considers the following when making award decisions:

The primary responsibility for financing a student’s education rests with the family.

Both parents are expected to contribute to tuition. If a parent chooses not to work, Malta Montessori imputes an annual income for a non-working parent.

In the case of divorce or separation, Malta Montessori requires both parents to file an application for financial assistance. The Malta Montessori School is not bound by any divorce agreement specifying a parent’s responsibility for educational expenses.

Malta Montessori believes a family should invest in their child’s education before elective expenses, for example, secondary home ownership, club memberships, and expensive car leases/purchases.
