Admissions
Admissions are based upon the space available and an evaluation of the suitability of Maria Montessori Education Centre for each student. We do not perform student admissions testing.
It is essential that families have a vested interest, and are supportive of the Montessori philosophy and methodology upon which our school is based. The families, as well as the students, must embrace the values and policies that are integral to the success of the program. Maria Montessori Education Centre will provide opportunities for families to continue to learn and grow in this understanding.
