Admissions Policies & Frequently Asked Questions
The admissions process is designed to be easy — and transparent. Here are the answers Hamilton parents ask most.
What is the timeline for applications?
Students are enrolled for the school year beginning in September. Applications are accepted through March, starting late January for current students and mid-February for open enrollment.
How are acceptances decided?
Acceptance depends on space, age, and priority given to children already in the program as well as their siblings. Exceptions are made if there is space available for the child to start anytime during the year.
What is the financial commitment?
Commitment to the three-year development cycles of the children is essential. Families should be prepared to allow the child to complete the entire three years of each cycle. Students are enrolled for the entire academic year, and summer if applicable, and families are held responsible for the yearly financial obligation.
What happens to the security deposit?
The $1,100 security deposit automatically rolls over to the following year's deposit. It is either refunded at the end of the child's cycle in the program or allotted towards the tuition of the student's final year of attendance. Notice of intent to withdraw prior to completion of a cycle forfeits the deposit.
Is there a refund policy?
Tuition payment is not subject to a refund, and the obligation to pay full tuition may not be cancelled, either through absence or dismissal by the school or withdrawal by the parents, for any reason, at any time through the year.
Does the school discriminate?
The Montessori School of Hamilton admits students of any race, color, sex, national or ethnic origin to the rights, privileges, programs and activities made available to students. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, and other school-administered programs.
