Question 1

How do I apply?

Accepted Answer

Applying is easy! Simply complete our online application form to begin the admissions process. Our Admissions Office will guide you through each step and answer any questions along the way. We require that you attend either an open house or a school tour and a child visit so we can learn more about your child in person.

Question 2

How can I schedule a tour?

Accepted Answer

We encourage all prospective families to visit our campus and experience Montessori in action. You can schedule a personal tour by completing an online form on our website or by contacting our Admissions Office directly. We'd love to meet you and your family.

Question 3

What happens during a school tour?

Accepted Answer

Your tour is an opportunity to visit our campus and classrooms, meet members of our team, and learn about our Montessori philosophy and programs. You'll have time to ask questions, explore our campus, and discuss your child's educational journey with our admissions staff.

Question 4

How much is tuition?

Accepted Answer

Tuition varies by program and grade level. For current tuition rates and enrollment information, please visit our tuition page or contact our Admissions Office. We'll be happy to discuss the options available for your family.

Question 5

Is my child required to complete an assessment?

Accepted Answer

As part of the admissions process, applicants entering 4th grade through 8th grade will be asked to submit a writing sample and transcript in addition to a child visit. Younger students only need a child visit. This helps us get to know your child and ensures we can provide the best possible learning environment for their success.

Question 6

Can students enroll during the school year?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if space is available, we may welcome students throughout the school year. Our admissions team will work closely with your family to ensure a smooth transition into the classroom.

Question 7

When should I begin the admissions process?

Accepted Answer

We encourage families to begin exploring our programs as early as possible. Admissions are accepted throughout the year when space is available, but applying early, starting by October,  offers the greatest opportunity for placement in your preferred program.

Question 8

Can I extend my enrollment from Half Day to Full Day Program or Extended Day Program?

Accepted Answer

If you are enrolled in the half day program, you may change to the full or extended day programs if space allows.

Question 9

Can I speak with current Hudson Montessori parents?

Accepted Answer

Many prospective families find it helpful to hear directly from our parent community. Throughout the admissions process, you can refer to our parent testimonials, and we can connect you with our parents so you can learn more about the experiences of families who have chosen our school.
