What Avalon Children's Montessori School says it looks for in students
At the Casa and early elementary level, it is important that parents/guardians have an understanding of or a willingness to learn about the Montessori method of education.
As older students apply to the school, it is important that families understand the nature and benefits of a small school and are committed to not only the growth and development of their own children but to the Avalon community as a whole.
For the adolescent who applies to the Middle School program at Avalon, we are looking for students who are:
Independent
Creative problem solvers
Tolerant
Leaders or willing to become leaders
Curious and excited about learning
Socially conscious
Able to think outside of the box
Willing to take responsiblity for his/her own learning -

What Avalon Children's Montessori School says about the application process
Application fee: N/A
Registration fee: N/A

Description:Interested families are invited to contact the school to set up a visit and classroom observation. A classroom observation is a mandatory part of the application process. Following the observation, interested families will sit down with an Avalon Director to determine if the application process should proceed.
At the Elementary level, students are invited to spend at day at Avalon, allowing for an informal observation by the teacher and an opportunity for the student to gain experience in the classroom. The elementary application must be accompanied by copies of the 2 most recent report cards.
Students applying to the Middle School are required to complete a questionnaire in addition to the above. We believe that the adolescent student must have a strong desire to attend Avalon and be willing to be active participants in their own education.
