Admission Policy
Application in PDF format | Parent Handbook - PDF
Kingswood Montessori Academy accepts children from 18 months through 6th grade.
Although Kingswood will accept students in the elementary who have not
had a Montessori experience in pre-school, the pre-school education is
at the base of our learning pyramid.
Kingswood reserves the right to deny enrollment to students who have developmental
problems that interfere with the student’s learning process. If the
student can adapt, the facility is open to him, but if a personal aide
is required, the school does not share this cost.
