  • If applying for Elementary I or II, please give the Student Evaluation from Current Teacher form to your child’s current teacher.

  • Visiting Our School:

    • We invite prospective parents and guardians to come into our school and explore our classrooms during the school day. Ideally, this first visit is an adults-only visit to allow for uninterrupted conversation.This is really the very best way to learn about our school. Please contact Suzanne Lawson our Director of Admissions to schedule your visit. slawson@bridgeviewmontessori.org

      • Children’s House families may choose to visit with their child during the school day or after school by appointment. Prospective parents and the Director of Admissions will discuss how to proceed with student visits in Children’s House.

      • Prospective Kindergarten students are invited to visit during the school day with their parent. This visit allows for both family and school to explore that all important fit. This can also be scheduled by contacting our Director of Admissions, Suzanne Lawson at slawson@bridgeviewmontessori.org.

      • Prospective Elementary students are invited to spend one or two days in their prospective classroom. Please see these visits as opportunities to learn a bit about our school, teachers, classmates and culture. We ask our visitors to bring a piece of schoolwork that they have recently created, something they enjoyed doing, something that makes them proud. This visit must take place prior to acceptance. Please contact us to schedule this visit by emailing slawson@bridgeviewmontessori.org.

Please note that you can ALWAYS call Suzanne Lawson our Director of Admissions to arrange visits and speak more about our programs. Call 508-888-3567.

Admissions priority is given to returning students and siblings as well as to those applying to the five-day Children’s House Programs. In the event that openings do not exist at the time of initial application, parents may elect to place their child on a waiting list. Under certain circumstances, the school may elect to grant admission on a conditional basis, under guidelines to be agreed upon with the parent at the time of acceptance.
