The Jefferson Montessori School

Tours

A visit is worth a thousand words …...

We encourage you to visit our school before submitting an application.  Tours are conducted by appointment only, Monday through Friday at 9:45 a.m. during the school year.   Please call the school office at 301-840-8448 and we will be happy to schedule your tour.

Admissions Process

• After your tour, we look forward to receiving your application.  Please return your completed application to the school along with the non-refundable $50.00 application fee. We accept applications throughout the year.  If there are no openings when we receive your application, you will be notified and we will keep your application on file.

• Upon receipt of your application, we will contact you to schedule a school visit for your child.  The purpose of these visits is to introduce both you and your child to the Montessori environment.  If your child feels comfortable during the visit, we encourage you to leave the classroom and wait in our office area until the visit is completed.   Visits are typically done during morning school hours and last approximately 20 to 45 minutes.

• Priority is given to siblings, alum and families with a letter of introduction.

• Notification of your child’s admissions status will be sent to you once your child’s visit has been completed.
