Admissions Virtual Tour
An Admissions Virtual Tour is the first step in the application process. It is specifically designed for the adult caretakers of the child. At this first introduction, we provide you with information about our school, method of education, and who we are as individuals and a community. After the virtual tour, you will have the opportunity to schedule a walk through of our facility to see our children and teachers in action.
Application
The questions on our online Application are designed to give a sense of your child as a unique individual and the values around which you have built your family. Upon receipt of your online application and accompanying documents, we will contact you to arrange your child’s class visit. Please be mindful that we cannot process your child’s application until all of your child’s records have been received.
You must have completed a Virtual Tour to apply for admission.
Class Visit
This is an opportunity for your child to visit a Montessori classroom and meet with our teachers. The purpose is two-fold: it provides parents with an opportunity to know how their child responds in a Montessori classroom, and it allows the teacher to interact with your child. The teacher will present lessons as a way to become acquainted with your child and look at some of his/her interests and learning styles. This is not a test, it merely allows us to determine whether or not your child is interested by our method of education.
Parent/Guardian Meetings-Admissions
After your child’s classroom visit, you will have the opportunity to have your questions answered and to meet with a school administrator. It is important that we determine together if our school and your family are a match. We will inform you within a week of your child’s visit. If RVM is a match for you and your child, we will discuss the final steps in the admission process.
