Bridgeview Montessori School welcomes appropriately aged children of all races, colors, creeds, national origins, and cultural backgrounds. For admission to the Pre-Primary program, a child must have reached the age of 2 years, 9 months and be toilet trained. All students must be able to care for their own personal needs and must be able to function well in a group setting. Admissions priority is given to returning students and siblings. 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 extenuating 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. Kindergarten students are a part of the Pre-Primary program in each classroom. They come together in the afternoon for a separate Kindergarten session. Students are accepted into the Kindergarten class based on their readiness skills as evaluated by the Kindergarten teachers and the Director of the Pre-Primary program.

The Application Process:

1. Please schedule a time for a tour and an "adults only" observation at the school, followed by a discussion of the program with the administration. Please call the school at 508-888-3567 to schedule this visit with the Director of Admissions. Please see our Observation Guidelines to ensure that you enjoy your visit.
2. Formal entrance into the application process begins with the completion and submission of an application form together with a $50 non-refundable application fee.
3. If applicable, please sign a Records Release Form and send it to your child's present school, asking that his/her records be sent to Bridgeview Montessori School.
4. Following the receipt of the child's records: Pre-Primary students may observe a class, with their parent, on a scheduled morning, from approximately 9:30 to 10:00; Elementary students will be invited to join a classroom for a portion of the school day (as scheduled between 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.). Please review our Observation Guidelines for more information.

Once we have received a completed application as described above, we will notify your family as to our admission decision, generally within two weeks. A tuition contract must be completed and returned to the school within one month of acceptance, along with a $500 non-refundable enrollment deposit to be applied to the final tuition payment. Parents whose child is placed on a waiting list will be contacted as openings become available.   Applications received during the summer will be handled individually, and admission decisions will be made as soon as possible based on available openings.
