Admissions
Thank you for your interest in Sunstone Montessori School! We are here to help you learn more about our school and guide you through our admissions process. Let’s get started.
Enrollment
When enrolling new students we take a great deal into consideration; our classrooms are carefully balanced for age, the suitability of the child and family to the Montessori approach, and, in the case of older children, prior Montessori experience.
2023-24: We have ONE SPOT AVAILABLE in our Children’s House (ages 3-6 years) for the current school year. To balance the mixed age classroom, we are looking for a child with a birthdate between Sept. 2018 and Jan. 2020. Please email admissions to inquire.
2024-25: We are now enrolling all program levels for the 2024-25 school year. Please schedule your admissions tour below.

We welcome applications for the 2024-25 school year beginning in October 2023. Applications submitted by February 17, 2024, are given priority consideration.
