WMS welcomes students of all races, religions, and ethnicities. Our enrollment process aims to ensure that WMS remains a lively and diverse community guided by Montessori philosophy, committed to the shared work of “following the child.” Our admissions season begins in October and concludes in April, when offers of admission are made.
In keeping with Montessori philosophy, we compose our classes carefully. We seek a relatively even distribution of boys, girls, and ages, which is critical to the success of each three-year developmental cycle. In addition to these factors, we give preference to Montessori transfer students and siblings of current students.
The process required for all prospective families starts with a visit to the school. Starting in October we schedule a tour and information session for parents which includes an observation of the classroom and an introduction to the school's philosophy and expectations.

WMS is able to extend tuition assistance to current families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Our financial aid program is limited and depends on successful fund raising and the gifts of alumni and friends. At this time grants will be made to students who are already enrolled in the school and will be for a one year period. Families may reapply each year. This year we have a fund of $5,000 which will allow us to award up to three grants based on financial need. WMS does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, national or ethnic origin in administration of its education policies, admission policies, and scholarship programs. Parents must be employed; maximum allotment is 30% of tuition. Funds are not available for child care (before and after school care). Grants will be awarded by June 1 for the following school year. Please contact the school for more information regarding this program. |
