Contact our admissions team
It’s never too early to begin the admissions process. Start by clicking the Inquire button to fill out a form. Our admissions team will contact you with the next steps. Request Information about Community Montessori School.
Schedule a campus tour
A campus tour is an essential step in the process and a great way to see what CMS has to offer. Tours are scheduled for most weekday mornings.. This gives prospective families a chance to see the uninterrupted morning work cycle, a hallmark of Montessori Education. Following the tour you will have the opportunity to meet with a member of our administrative team to ask any questions you may have. It is not necessary for your child to attend the tour, but they are certainly welcome to if you’d like.
Submit an application
To secure a spot on our waiting list, please complete the application, along with the $75 non-refundable application fee. Montessori transfer students take priority, as do siblings and children of CMS alumni. An email will be sent confirming receipt of the application.
