Mountain Laurel Montessori is a school for children between 16 months and 15 years of age (through 9th grade). We prefer that children begin their Montessori experience by 3½, but we do accept older children without prior Montessori experience when we feel our school can meet their needs.
One of the beauties of a Montessori environment is that both children with learning differences and those with exceptional abilities can be equally challenged and engaged in their work, due to mixed-age grouping and a thoughtful, individualized curriculum.
Our admission policy is non-discriminatory regarding race, religion, handicapped status, and country of national origin. Having diversity in our student body is vital to promoting acceptance and appreciation for all humankind.
We may not have immediate openings in some programs. When this is the case, submission of an application and application fee ensures that your child will be included on a wait-list to be considered for the next available placement.
Please note that priority for admission is not determined by a "first-come, first-served policy." Rather, decisions are based on the needs of our learning communities and appropriate age and gender balances. Priority is given to siblings of current Mountain Laurel students and to children who have previously attended a Montessori school.
Our community is enhanced by each new family and our classes are graced with each new student. We appreciate your interest.
