                                        Academic Year Admissions

                                        We welcome you and your children to our outstanding facilities and programs. Families of enrolled children must be willing to make a strong commitment to their child's education and a commitment to the School’s educational philosophy.  This commitment manifests itself in the signing the registration forms at time of admission.

                                        Application Process
                                        To be considered for admission to Elan Vital Montessori, prospective students must submit a completed application form and a $50 application fee to cover processing.

                                        Pre-Admission Tour and Visit
                                        Parents are invited to visit our school to meet our certified and trained staff and to observe our teachers and students in the classroom prior to enrollment. Since it allows Élan Vital Montessori to control the number of interruptions to the classroom on any given day, tours and observations are scheduled in advance. On the tour, interested families are given an overview of Élan Vital Montessori, our philosophy, educational methods, and a tour of our facility. Additional reading material is given for review at home. With this review, parents can ensure that Élan Vital Montessori is a quality choice for their family and that their choice is a commitment for involvement in the community.


                                        Enrollment
                                        Upon your decision to enroll your child, Élan Vital Montessori requires a non-refundable enrollment fee of $500 to cover administrative costs at the time of registration along with a completed and signed registration form and contract. Each new student is admitted under a six week provisional period. 

                                        Enrollment at Élan Vital Montessori requires a family commitment for the academic year.  As we are a school environment and not a day care facility, we do not offer limited enrollment for short periods of time (by month or by week). This allows our classes to remain consistent and for the class to grow as a group academically. All enrolled families are expected to maintain their commitment for the entire school year.  Re-enrollment is held each February for the following school year program.

                                        Élan Vital Montessori School admits students of any race, color, gender, national, or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national,or ethnic origin in employment or in its administration of its educational policies, admission policies, financial aid programs, athletics, or other school administered programs. Admission decisions are based upon the space available and an evaluation of the suitability of EVM for each student.
