Admission Procedure
2008 — 2009

  • A visit to the school by the parents is the first step. Interested parents will receive a copy of the Parent Handbook and a Parent Questionnaire. If you’re interested, give us a call at (530) 343-4308. We’ll set up an initial visit for you.
  • Parents fill out the Parent Questionnaire and return it to the school. Montessori Elementary is a special school environment and we want to know if you will be comfortable with our program.
  • An interview with parents to follow-up on the questionnaire is scheduled and a time is arranged when the child can visit.
  • The child visits the school without the parents.
  • Tuition agreement, application and health forms are completed.
  • Parents wishing to have their child attend Montessori Elementary need to remit the following fees before their child can be considered enrolled:
    • Registration fee (non-refundable) of $300.00 – due each year at time of enrollment.
    • Total full-time tuition cost of $4,950.00. Half-day Kindergarten tuition is $2,475 (8:30-11:30A.M.). There are several payment options available.
    • If starting after the first day of school, the tuition is prorated and adjusted according to the number of days of attendance.
    • A 10% discount is available for second child.
  • A complete physical examination of the child to be enrolled is also required and must be completed within three weeks of the first day of attendance. A physical examination form to be completed by the examining physician is included with the initial packet of forms.
  • Notice of your child’s first day of school and school calendar will be sent in August.

We hope to have vacancy information available later this month.
