Admission Process

Parents interested in a Woodland education for their children may inquire throughout the year. Applications for the next school year are accepted at any time. However, it is recommended that applications be received by May 1st for the next school year, since the programs fill up rather rapidly.
 

The steps below are the suggested path to follow if you are interested in enrolling your child at Woodland. If you have any questions, please contact the school directly.

1.       Contact the school by phone (845)567-6383, or email    woodlandmontessori@hotmail.com.

2.         Parent(s) schedules a personal interview and tour, if possible, without your child. This will give the parent(s) an opportunity to meet with the Director of the school and go over any questions they might have. The school will give the parent(s) an Informational Packet.

3.       Parent(s) follows-up with a telephone call to ask any questions they might have before scheduling an appointment.

4.       Parent(s) schedule a student visits to Woodland to spend a day in the classroom. Preschool students spend a morning visiting. This will allow the student to get an experience of the classroom and meet with the teachers and the other students.

5.       Applicants for grades K-8, should forward a Release for Student Records to current school.

6.       Applicants submit the application with the appropriate fees.

7.       Current school sends a copy of student's transcript and records to Woodland.

Our Admissions Committee reviews:
 Admission is granted based on the decision by the school with regard to its belief in whether it can benefit the family seeking admission and the parents, who agree with the philosophy of the school and believe it can benefit their child. In other words, we believe that every child has the right to go to a school that is a perfect match for them. Submission of an application to the school is not a guarantee of acceptance.
