It also means we need to formalize our registration process. In the spirit of transparency, we want parents to be aware that priority enrollment for the upcoming school year will be first offered to current students. This means, those students currently enrolled in Casa will have priority for the limited spots in grade one. In order to secure this place, parents need to complete requirements in Section 2, which are outlined below. For parents of children who are new to FMA at the start of the upcoming school year, please follow both steps outlined in Section 1 – New Student Enrollment Process. Once the process is approved, you can be confident that your child has a spot at our school. Please be advised that simply following these steps, does not guarantee your child a spot at our school. For parents of children already enrolled at the FMA, please follow the requirements outlined in Section 2 – Returning Students Enrollment Process.Section 1 – New Student Enrollment ProcessStep 1 – Application for Enrolment Registration for the upcoming year, closes yearly on January 31st. We require parents to fill out an application for enrolment. At this point, students will be placed in a wait pool. Applying for placement in our academy commits the parents to the following: • A $150 non-refundable application fee (this must be submitted at the same time as your application for enrolment) • Attendance at two information sessions, one regarding what our academy offers as an authentic Montessori school (Montessori 101) and the other specific to the class your child is entering. These sessions will be held, at least, 6 months before your child starts at our academy and are approximately one hour in length. • A tour of our school with your child Step 2 – Acceptance into ProgramOnce your family has fulfilled Step One, we will be accepting students starting March 1st into our program. If acceptance is granted, the family will have one week to make a final decision at which point a $500 down payment must be made to hold the spot. This will be credited toward your yearly tuition. At this time, you will be asked to fill out a child profile, provide proof of immunization and sign the contract stating that you have read the Family Handbook and agree to its contents. If you choose not to attend the school in the fall, the deposits are non-refundable. Please be advised, if your child is in the waiting pool, and we cannot offer him/her enrolment, the registration fee is non-refundable.
