ADMISSIONS



Applications, Policies and Procedures



The Montessori Children’s House of Wellesley (MCHW) is a small school with limited openings each year. Priority is given to siblings of current and past students.

Sibling Admissions
Applications for siblings should be submitted no later than November 1 of the year preceding anticipated enrollment, but may be submitted at any time before that date.

If MCHW is unable to accommodate all sibling applications, admission decisions will be at the discretion of the Director who will take into account factors including gender balance and age distribution of the group. In such cases, admissions decisions will be made by December 1.

New Family Admissions

Applications for students of families new to MCHW may be submitted as early as October 1 of the year preceding anticipated enrollment and should be submitted no later than January 1.

As space allows, MCHW will contact families to schedule short, private visits during school hours to allow parents to observe the classroom at work. (Parents are asked to leave children with other caretakers during this visit.)

In addition, we ask you to schedule a short visit with your child during after-school hours when a teacher can spend 10 – 15 minutes with you and your child exploring the classroom and materials.

All admission decisions will be at the discretion of the Director who will take into account factors including gender balance and age distribution of the group. Admissions decisions will be made no later than March 15th.

MCHW does not discriminate with regard to a family's religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, marital status, disability, national origin or sexual orientation.
