Enrollment

From Harmony-Montessori

We welcome inquiries about Harmony, via email or telephone. Please note the form on the Contact Us page. If you are interested in learning more about our school, we encourage you to make an appointment to visit. Montessori schools all share a common philosophy and materials, but each school is unique. First-hand observation is invaluable in making the decision about the right school for your child.

Our Head of School or our Office Manager will be happy to give you a tour, arrange a classroom observation, and spend time with you answering your questions. Some tours are arranged individually, while others might involve several families at once.

When parents decide to enroll, an application is submitted with a payment of $300: this includes a $100 application fee ($50 for subsequent children in the family) and a $200 tuition deposit, which will be applied to the first monthly tuition payment. Both are non-refundable. Tuition is an annual amount, divided into ten monthly payments August through May. Mid-year enrollments are pro-rated. Go to the tuition page for current numbers. The next school year's tuition levels are set by the Board in early March.

We welcome inquiries throughout the year. Most enrollments happen in late winter through late spring, for the following fall. We can accommodate mid-year enrollments if we have an opening, or whenever our numbers shift. When our classes fill up, we establish a waiting list, because unexpected withdrawals do happen. Also, often a 2 1/2- or young 3-year-old child isn't quite ready with potty training by September, but later fall or January proves to be a perfect time to start.
