• What Gatehouse Montessori School says it looks for in students

  Students who thrive in our program are curious, independent, and comfortable engaging in hands-on, self-directed learning. We look for children who show emerging responsibility, are able to participate in group settings with respect, and can follow simple routines within a structured Montessori environment. A willingness to explore, concentrate on tasks, and engage with materials is important.
  
  We value children who are kind, socially aware, and able to work cooperatively with peers in a mixed-age classroom. Success is best supported when families are aligned with Montessori principles and support independence, consistency, and respect for the learning process at home as well as at school.

• Why it matters

  Description:

  Step 1 – Book a tour (Parents only)

  Give us a call or schedule a tour via the link below to come in and get to know us better. We will explain our program to you and give you a tour of the school. You will also get an opportunity to observe a classroom in action.  This visit will also allow you to ask questions regarding your child and their education.

  An application package will be provided to you at the end of the tour for your review.

  Step 2 – Submit the Application and Payment

  The application package includes all the forms and information you will need to register your child in our program.  The required forms will need to be completed along with the deposit which consists of the application fee ($215), activity fee ($300) and one-month tuition.  Please refer to our fee overview for further detail.

  Step 3 – Child comes for a visit

  We will also invite you to bring your child for a tour of the classroom environment. This will potentially be their home away from home for the next few years and that initial tour is an opportunity to get to know the classroom, meet the teachers and most importantly, watch their eyes light up at the sight of the Montessori materials
