We’re delighted by your interest in Hollis Montessori School! We look forward to introducing you to our school and getting to know you during the application process.
1) Inquire
We look forward to working with you! Please contact our Admissions Department.
2) Schedule a Virtual Tour
The first step in our admissions process is to register for a virtual tour. Hosted by our Admissions Director, this is a great opportunity to learn more about Montessori education and the different programs we offer. Please email admissions@hollismontessori.org to schedule a virtual tour.
3) Schedule a Classroom Observation
Once you’ve completed the virtual tour, you’ll be invited to schedule a classroom observation. These observations allow you to view our classrooms during the work cycle and see how Montessori education works. Classroom observations are available during the school year.
HMS classrooms are closed to students June through August. For those inquiring during summer months, an in-person campus tour will be given in lieu of observations.
4) Request/Submit an Application
We will provide your family with an application once you’ve completed your virtual tour and classroom observation or campus tour. We encourage families to submit applications early as space is limited. Priority applications are due by January, after which we change to rolling admissions.
5) We’ll arrange a Student Visit for your Family
After your child's application has been received, we will set up an in-person visit with your child and family. We use this opportunity to engage with your child, so that we can begin to understand their personality and what sparks their curiosity. During the visit, we meet with your family to talk more in depth about our programs and answer any lingering questions that you may have. New child visits for 2027-2028 priority applicants will be held in February 2027.
Families applying during summer months are encouraged to bring your child(ren) with you during your campus tour so the Admissions Director can meet them.
6) Secure your Child’s Enrollment
If enrollment is offered for your child, return your signed enrollment contract and tuition deposit within two weeks of receipt of your acceptance letter. Upon receipt of your tuition deposit, we will hold a place for your child in our program.
